While you are driving, even if you put your phone on speaker, you have to admit that you are still a little bit distracted from the drivers around you. You are not G-D. You are a simple human being.

Little boy was in a seat belt and it’s strangled him to death. Car seat mandatory until 40 lbs then legally required to be in booster type car seat. Driver of other vehicle passed away, was apparently wearing a seatbelt wasn’t ejected from vehicle. Head of collision DOUBLES impact so if each were going 30MPH impact is 60MPH
