Sorry to hear about your loss, truely tragic! I was behind a Durango the other night and we were traveling on a 2 lane highway where the posted speed limit is 45 mph, but everyone and I mean everyone is going a minimum of 70mph. His brake lights stayed on for over 3 miles and when I got a chance to pull alongside of him to tell him this I notice he is reclined way back in his seat texting while his passenger was steering!Too much for me...CR
I thought I knew a lot, until I had teenagers!

People just don't get how dangerous this problems is !
"ah, I can do it, I'm a good driver, no problem". Ya,..Right.
A friend went bowling, the family next to them had 5 people, the mother picked up a ball with her right hand, and texting with her left hand, as she sent the ball down the lane. It was a gutter ball. The point is, she couldn't put the damn cell phone down for 1 hour, to enjoy being with a family night out !
What the @ell is wrong with our society !
People young & old, are ADDICTED,... to texting.
My sisters boyfriend drives a big rig, weighting over 50,000 lbs, and they text each other as he flies down the interstate with thousands of gallons of gasoline. He's going to kill himself, if not many others around him. You know what his excuse is, "well, I'm very bored".
lol, what ever dude.
There are company's making touch less/hands free texting devises today, similar to GPS devices, but I don't hear much, if any, advertisements for them ?Kevin

We have been accepted by the Nebraska Secretary of State with our non-profit organization name, "Racers Against Texting While Driving". We've also filed for the 501 (c)3 and 1024 form to be tax exempt.
We've set up a dedicated website on 1 and 1, and should be up & running soon.
So, we are a legal organization.
We have received a Maxum sprint car frame, fuel cell, some steering parts with hopefully, more to come next week.
We still need money donations. Please give what you can for this worthy cause. You may contact me anytime at 402-781-2322.
Thank you,
Kevin
