Was heading to my vehicle in the Whitney Parking lot (have you seen the new signs?) earlier this week when I was nearly run down by a speeding vehicle. From a perspective of less than five feet, it was easy to see that the driver was paying more attention to texting on their cell phone than they were (should have been!) to what was going on in the parking lot.
Surprisingly, I was the one who got the dirty look from the driver. Go figure!
While on occasion I'm just as guilty as the next person for reading messages while I'm driving, this near miss (or near hit)incident has given me pause to think more about text messages. I need to do it from the safety of driving my desk and not my vehicle. Maybe others will develop the same perspective.
Way to go City of Marshall for putting up the parking lot signs and the Information Kiosk signs around town too. If you haven't seen them, come downtown and we'll gladly point them out to you.
That's my opinion. What about yours?
