Please Don't Blame The Teens

Why are mostly just teenagers pegged with the "texting and driving" problem? I find it a bit annoying that most accusations are pointed towards teenagers. But in reality, I find that it is the adults who do the most texting and driving. I have really yet to see an adult that I have ridden with that has not texted. I do understand that because teenagers are beginners with driving, it's much more dangerous for them to be texting and driving. But my friends and I do not text and drive. This is unlike my mother, and my father, and my aunt, and my friends' parents. So why blame the teens? Aren't adults suppose to set a good example? I know, I know, they've been driving longer, they have more experience and all that. But really, is that an excuse? Texting and driving is dangerous no matter what age or what experience level.

I find the accusation towards teens to be unfair, and really quite annoying. I also find the accusation of women as being sucky drivers annoying too, but that's another blog for another day I suppose.

So please, quit blaming the teens.
