It's not easy to find. When you put your cursor over "Actions Speak Louder!", you get a drop down menu, which includes "Contact Us" ... which will get you Greg's email address (he is Anita's son - and a very cool guy)

Excellent post, thanks. How long would people stand for it if truckers painted their nails or did anything except drive their rigs and started mowing cagers down in the process? Same thing with cagers mowing us down and, actually, mowing each other down. This is nonsense.

Did anyone look at the PSA's? Seem to be from England or Australia. Very good messages, wish they were shown here.

Manitoba Canada has just started phasing in no cellphone use in vehicles except with bluetooth over the next year. Fines. I believe are only 200.00 first offense. It's a start.

Thanks for the link. I joined the facebook group too. Distracted driving is a real threat and it's sad it takes something like this to start opening peoples eyes.

After learning of a car full of cheerleaders dying as a result of a head on collision while texting. My daughter, who is also a cheerleader, started her own foundation at her high school to raise awareness of texting while driving. She sold the rubber wristbands that said "Knights Against Texting", due to her school mascot's name, and raised $1200 in the process.

She later donated the $ to Race for the Cure which is a breast cancer foundation. Big things can happen from just 1 person speaking up, We all could do a better job and do something..anything to keep these tards off the street.

Good post. Not enough awareness of the crazies out there. Definitely a worthy cause.

This NEEDS to happen everywhere. In Ontario they just passed the "NO PHONE" law. I hope that it makes a difference.
