Guys, let me explain to you. I admited that I did text while driving years ago. It just amazing how many second that I didn't see what is happening in front of me. I look at myself that I'm driving a massive machine, heavy weight set of vehical, it just like 1 tonner killer machine compare to 150 lbs person who have no protection.


This machine here is your responsibiliy of how you operate and that machine will kill people. It's like how you operate tiny gun that kill people. There's a story about train engineer who texted a message while driving 100 tons cars and killed 30 people head on another train. You know, train doesn't require steering, all he have to do is operate a throttle, brake and horn. That is easier than the car right? Well, engineer texted and suddenly he kill 30 people. Train is hard to stop. This is a big f**king masive machine that he drove. No matter how easy to operate this machine but it does kill people. Same thing with car. Car is like gun.


Now back to say why I admited that I did text while I was driving, you know when I was thinking what Foxrac said:


"Fine, I do have common sense and it's hard to explain about how you did texting while driving, I always when highway is isolated and not many cars."


It give me a flash back, I was driving in isolated highway and there a car in front of me, about 10 cars ahead of me. When I start to reply a text message and when I'm done like few second later, I suddenly saw a car was closer than I expected, very fast and at the same time saw a deer running in front of that car. I mean all in split second. I slammed the brake hard and luckly the car in front of me swerved in a different direction where I narrowly missed rear ended that car. We both going about 80 MPH. Come think of that. We can easily loose control, we can slammed to the trees, we can flipped and rolled over many times or anything.


Then I pulled off the road so I can take a break. My hands shaking. Then I was thinking about my wonderful family. I was suddenly pissed and threw my SK against the steering wheel. Cuz I knew immedialty no matter how many seconds that I took my eyes off the road.. I will become "attempt murderer" or I will become "kamikaze attack" to another. Cuz I'm operating a massive machine that can easily kill someone or myself.


So, from this day on, I never texted while I'm driving. I only pulled over the side of the road even if only one important message that I have to sent... this is worth more than life of myself.


So, think about it, think about your family, you are operating a gun, anytime you attempt to take your eyes off the road, you are becoming "attempt murderer".


I know it sound harsh... but it just because it's unbelievable how people don't understand about "responsibility" or think that it can never happen or people say.."Oh I know I'm being careful while I'm texting!", okaaaay..good luck you will become "attempt murderer".
