My best friend (well one of 2) is a 28 year old woman who used to text and drive all the time. I've begged her many times to stop and chastized her many times when she texts me when I know she's driving. In the last month or so she's said she's making a real effort to stop. She has gotten better (as far as I know at least) but she still does it. She'll give me the excuse that she's at a stop light or something.
I don't know why she can't just quit doing it. It's not an addiction like drugs or booze, it's a simple choice. She has a 10 minute drive to work, she doesn't need to text me on the way.
I told her about this thread today and showed it to her. She promises to re-dedicate herself. Now show me don't tell me.
