The moral to this: Take precautions to avoid car accidents. Consider driving only when necessary those days. Steer clear of negligent drivers who may be on their phone, texting while driving, swerving or otherwise not paying attention to their driving. Auto accidents claim lives every day. Don’t let it be you. If you sense that you are not emotionally or mentally able to focus on your driving, then either stay off the road, or give the keys to someone else!
