I’m a great driver. Texting and driving isn’t so bad, you tell yourself.
Before you tell your friend that you’ll be late, did you know that sending one text can take your eyes off the road for 5 seconds? Even having a heated conversation about your favourite Canadian hockey show can lead to a serious swerve into oncoming traffic.
