Don't Text and Drive

  Hey guys! As I said in my previous post, I have to write a speech every week. I can write it about whatever I want, and it only has to be a minute long. I haven't timed this one yet so I don't know exactly how long it is, but I thought I'd post it on here before reading it over again and printing it out.
  Although commercials and authorities have made it obvious, it seems like texting and driving is still an issue. These are reasons why you shouldn't text and drive.
  It's illegal. Even if you don't get in an accident from it, texting and driving can get you in trouble with the police.
  It isn't safe. No matter how much you think you can multi-task, texting will distract you from the road. Taking your hands off the wheel to type each letter of a text can cause an injury and maybe even a death, no matter how fast you can type each word.
  It isn't necessary. If you're texting, that probably means you aren't in a hurry. Having the time to start a conversation before driving should mean you have time to continue it afterwards.
  Making the small choice to text while driving can take away your freedom to make choices at all. What you think only costs you a few seconds of your life can keep someone from using several years of theirs. Texting while driving is illegal, unsafe, and unecessary.

  I hope that was... informational..? I don't know what word I should use. In drivers ed, we were being told about passing cars on a 2-way road. We were told that before passing, we should ask ourselves 3 questions: Is this legal? Is this safe? Is this necessary? Although it was only mentioned in one subject, I thought that those questions should be asked for most of our choices. So, I used it in my speech!
  Anyways, I hope that my speech somehow affected you!
