Texting and driving

Driving down the road without paying attention and narrowly avoiding an accident should make us stop texting and driving. Consequences, indeed, shake us into compliance and can change behavior.

The unfortunate thing about change is that we rarely do something radical without something radical happening to us. Perhaps the thing we must understand about ourselves is then why it is so hard to break the habit of complacency. Where have we become so used to driving without thinking?
