phone dependency is a huge problem in America.

chulavistaUser24914820016d ago

People don’t know how to put there phones down. So of course it’s up. Don’t know why people need to pick up a phone while driving we did it for 100 years no

SanDiegoUser6622510166d ago

Is it me or are car fires and rollovers way up??

Us being the #2 ranked city in car accidents across the nation is concerning. We need to be better people, it starts with being an corteous driver and leaving early for work so you’re not late and speeding.
