Long, but good and sobering. I think distracted driving is something that we're all guilty of at one time or another.

Years ago, while in college, I had an accident in my '86 Camry because I looked down to grab a CD to put into the stereo while driving. The person in front of me decided to make a sudden left, and by the time I looked up, I saw nothing but brake lights. Luckily, I was only going around 30 mph and was able to evasively move to the shoulder and although I couldn't stop in time to avoid hitting the car in front of me, it was a very minor impact that did little to no damage to my car and just did surface damage to the car I hit. It was a sobering experience and I learned that taking my attention/focus from the road (even for a second or two) can and will cause accidents.

I really don't get how people can just text while driving and think that it is a safe exercise.
