TEXTING/TALKING WHILE DRIVING

PEOPLE PLEASE STOP TEXTING WHILE DRIVING! I am begging those of you who text to stop before it's too late and you end up hurting

yourself or some innocent bystander. 2 times this week I have been nearly hit head on in the city of Butler by people either talking or texting while driving. I even recently witnessed a poor gentlemen in a wheelchair almost wipe out trying to get off the road near the Arbors because a girl wasn't paying attention while making a turn. She had her radio up real loud while she was talking and laughing with her friends as this

poor fellow nearly lost his balance and tipped his chair over. This man is all but a 100 lbs and is a Vietnam Vet. Come on now people! Is there anything so urgent thats worth risking a life over? If you have teens please, please for the sake of my children and someone else's tell

them to put the phone down or park to chat.
