Myra Walz comes off as shy and quiet. Not much of an activist. But in late June came the phone call that forced her out of her shell.
Hundreds of miles away, on a barren strip of Wyoming highway, her niece had crossed the center line, slamming into an oncoming truck.
Sabrina “Bree” Wilson, 31, a mother of two daughters, died on the scene in a horrific crash.
“As soon as we found out that she was texting while driving, I said ”˜no more, never again,’?” Walz said.
There is never ever an excuse for texting while driving. Not [b]EVER![/b] If you can’t wait until you get where you’re going, or if you can’t pull off the road to a safe area where you can do so, then you have no busines driving with a cell phone in your possession. I have seen some horrendous accidents……all resulting a loss of innocent lives……caused by drivers who were guilty of texting while driving. California has taken the lead in prohibiting texting (and talking on cell phones) while driving, and the fines are stiff……but not stiff enough.
