Chapters 1-3
Reggie Shaw didn’t think texting and driving could hurt anyone because then, there wasn’t much evidence showing how it affection our attention. After the accident, Reggie denied it was his fault he crossed the yellow lines and seems to show no remorse for what he did when confronted by Rindlisbacher. Reggie was in shock and blocked the memory of what he did because it was so traumatic, but he still lied to an officer and he knew that was wrong so he deserves to be punished.
A few months ago, my mom drove up too a stop light behind two other cars. she saw the light had turned green and her phone had fallen down the side of her seat. She assumed the cars in front of her would go so she accelerated while she went to get her phone and hit the truck in front of her. Apparently the first car never went because they were texting so the truck didn’t move. My mom had texted me and my dad saying she got in a car accident and we started freaking out thinking it was really bad. All that happened was the truck got a little dent on its bumper and my mom’s car got a little scratch and no one was hurt. This whole ordeal scared me because I was worried about my mom, and it made me understand what could happen if my mom was driving faster and how important it is that people don’t look at their phones while driving.
