Distracted Stopping

Everyone talks about the dangers of distracted driving, but there’s something even more pervasive. Distracted stopping. Look at the drivers stopped at a light the next time you have a chance. In a line of cars, every single driver is looking at the phone. Every single one. I have done this too, but lately I’ve trying to disconnect more. Most people are probably looking at email, texts or Facebook. Unless it’s related to where you are going, we should give it a rest. We are already too connected, and it is unlikely that something on your phone is so important right now. Wait until you reach you destination to check your phone. It can really all wait.
