anything that distracts one can be hazardous -
children acting up
spilled drink
fatigue
chemicals - alcohol, illegal and legal drugs
arguing with someone
there are more things that can distract than cell phones and trxting

You're absolutely correct. Most of the things you list are under our personal control, though, and thus avoidable. The exceptions are the children acting up and fatigue, and I only include fatigue in unusual circumstances.

It's also terrifying that there's so many idiots walking in parking lots checking their phones oblivious to the dangers. The areas around high schools and colleges are really having a lot of pedestrians hurt. We had one fall into an open manhole. Long, hard fall. Another almost died wlking in front of a huge bus. Claimed he didn't see it!

It's against the law to text and drive here, but that sure does not stop anyone from doing it. Any time we are on the road we can see someone texting. Ever wonder how we got by in the "olden days"...when no one had a cell phone....just one...that hung on the wall....and everyone used it? My Dad used to talk about the "really olden days" when not everyone had a phone....you had to run down to the "Avenue" to use a phone!!
