Something is very wrong out there when there are so many wrong-way interstate driving events along with digitally distracted drivers. Is it distracted driving, or drunken drivers, or a combination of the two? I’m writing today because of what one younger client told me this week.

We were discussing texting while driving and I’ve now been informed that texting is dead, finished, gone by the wayside, done, fini, finished, passé’. Yes sir they no longer are texting. Now they Facebook while driving. Using Facebook’s news feed the drivers are looking at pictures, reading text and posting to their FB pages while they attempt to drive.

Texting is so yesterday.

Distracted driving and dumb drivers are a lethal combination. Here are today’s articles on wrong-way drivers. 

Please follow these directions to know how to post that you're on the way to the morgue:
