Last week I watched the Oprah text messaging show and it struck a nerve. Working here, at Great Plains Auto Body, and seeing the damage texting and cell phone chats can do is shocking. I don’t think people truly understand. The damage done to personal property is one thing but the damage done to families is truly upsetting.

Texting while driving is equivalent to having FOUR alcohol drinks. Four. Would you get into the car with your kids after having four glasses of wine?

Watch this Oprah Show clip.
