Texting and driving puts you and the people around you in serious danger


Texting and driving is one of the stupidest and most dangerous things to do while driving. The statistics of accidents and tragedies caused by the behavior are staggering. Every driver knows texting and driving is wrong, risky, and shouldn’t be done. Yet, drivers young and old still text and drive every day. If you’re guilty of this awful habit, consider (really consider) the following suggestions to help you stop your reckless driving.

Each year, thousands of people are killed in accidents caused by drivers who are distracted, and texting and driving is one of the major examples of a distracted driving behavior. You need to fully comprehend that every time you pick up your cell to text or read a text while you’re driving you could kill yourself or someone else. If you can’t possibly ignore a text notification while you drive, then just turn your cellphone off or at least silence it. If turning off your phone completely makes your blood run cold, try downloading apps designed to stop your nasty habit.


“Some stop your phone from receiving text messages and calls while you’re driving, others send automatic reply messages explaining that you are driving and aren’t able to answer right now,” said Reader’s Digest writer Morgan Cutolo. “Some apps even reward you for not texting and driving; they track when you’re on the move and will give you coupons and discounts depending on how far you travel without touching your phone.”

Pull over if communicating via text is vitally important, suggests Cutolo, and when you’re accompanied by passengers, turn over the texting responsibilities to one of them. That way you concentrate fully on what you’re supposed to be concentrating on — driving.

Logan was the most complained about film of 2017 for a stupid bloody reason

Image
Hugh Jackman"s ninth outing as Wolverine was the most complained about film of 2017 in cinemas in the UK. Logan opened to critical acclaim last year and was lauded by fans of the X-Men franchise for its ne0-noir, gritty portrayal of Wolverine and was Jackman"s last outing as the mutant we all love to love. Following the rip-roaring success of Deadpool, Fox gave the go-ahead to give the next wolverine outing an R-rating. This meant fans were finally going to get the Wolverine movie they"d always wanted. Violent and gritty, Logan was a valuable addition to the Marvel franchise, throwing around blood with almost as much reckless abandon as the word f*ck. It was perhaps Jackman"s best stint as Wolverine and thankfully helped to wash away some of the absolute horror that was X Men Origins: Wolverine (yeah, remember that absolute disaster?). Logan was the Wolverine film we"d all been waiting for ; as Old Man Logan, Jackman finally got to play Wolverine the way we wan...

"Johnny English Strikes Again" for more family-friendly fun

Image
When spy movies were a big thing back in the 1960s, occasionally someone would try to spoof the genre. This almost never worked, except for the TV series “Get Smart,” which had Mel Brooks as its guiding force. Maybe the spy satire needs time, because it wasn’t until the “Austin Powers” series, and two “OSS 117” films (starring “The Artist” Oscar-winner Jean Dujardin), that the 1960s spy movie got its proper send-up. Right in the midst of all that was Johnny English, the British secret agent played by Rowan Atkinson. In “Johnny English” (2003) and “Johnny English Reborn” (2011), Atkinson played a hapless Bond-wannabe who tried to stay relevant during the British Empire’s decline, but could barely stay out of his own way. Those movies were built around Atkinson (still best known as the accident-prone Mr. Bean), whose willingness to fall out of windows and slide down staircases while clad in a suit of armo...

Wedding guest stunned by groom"s rude reaction to gift

Image
Gift registries are one of the most divisive features of modern weddings, but they at least guarantee the marrying couple will be happy with what they receive. Or so one would assume, anyway. One disgruntled guest has shared the "cheeky" (read: rude) reaction a groom had to her wedding gift, and it"s truly jaw-dropping stuff. Writing on Mumsnet , the anonymous guest said she and her husband had ordered a $AUD125 gift from the Amazon wish list featured on the bride and groom"s wedding website, so were confident it would be received favourably. Arriving at the reception, however, it was apparent nobody else had brought physical presents. WATCH: The only gift Prince Harry and Meghan Markle want from their wedding guests. (Post continues.) "People kept saying "We just got them vouchers/money"," the woman recalls, adding that even the groom said he wasn"t expecting gifts. At the end of the night, theirs was still the only gift sitting by the card...
