Safety IS CARING<br />

I’m driving down the highway and it is an amazing day<br />

outside, all of the sudden I hear a loud crashing noise.<br />

When I look over and see that there has been an<br />

accident. On first reaction I drive over to see if there is<br />

anything I can help with, and if 911 needs to be called.<br />

You wait around to make sure everyone is ok and wait for the ambulance. You<br />

administer first aid to the drivers of the one vehicle, and then go help the other<br />

vehicles driver. You speak to each of them and realize that the young driver in the car<br />

that caused the accident was on the phone while driving.<br />

While it is illegal to be on your phone now, most drivers choose to not obey this law,<br />

no matter the consequences. With no thought of the safety of others in mind and a<br />

care in the world of what could happen. The<br />

penalties are not high enough for the crime<br />

that is committed when you take your life and<br />

the lives of others into your hands. The problem<br />

now is that most of society is dependent on our<br />

electronics and can’t go without looking or<br />

touching them for more than ten minutes.<br />

When it comes to driving and doing this, it<br />

becomes unsafe. Most people in life wake up get ready for work or whatever and go about their day<br />

without thinking of the things that could happen during the day. Safety is usually put on the back<br />

burner because the mindset of most people is that it won’t happen to me. But in fact those are the<br />

people that most incidents and accidents happen to the most. Just like the driver of the vehicle<br />

accident, she was on her phone and didn’t have a care in the world about the other drivers on the<br />

round or what kind of consequences could come from her doing this act.<br />

take two minutes our of our day and just<br />

STOP and THINK<br />

about ourselves and the safety of others<br />

I strongly suggest each and every one of us take two minutes out of our day and just stop and think<br />

about ourselves and the safety of other people. What you will notice is that by doing things differently<br />

we can change a lot of things in this world for the better.<br />
