Voice Texts Aren’t Safer Than Regular Texts

I read a story the other day about a woman in Colorado who attempted to send a voice text message while driving and she ended up colliding with a guardrail.  The guardrail made its way through her seat and ended up impaling her right where the sun doesn't shine. 

As I drive around the Mohawk Valley, I see more and more people paying more attention to their phones then to the road.  Not good folks, not good.  Even though a voice text is not looking at the phone for longer period of time, it is still taking your eyes off of the road, even if it is just for a couple of seconds.  Anything can happen in those 2 seconds, as this story tells us.  I have to say, it definitely is getting scary out there.  Take a moment to stop your vehicle to do what you need to do on your phone, if it can't wait until you reach your destination.  Use this poor girl's mishap as a lesson to all.
