Distracted driving is unsafe. Please catch yourself when reaching for your phone to check that last text or email and wait until you reach your destination, or pull over. I know it is hard; it is hard for me too. But many collisions occur due to distracted driving and you have to constantly think of the consequences. Drive safe.
