Well, I was heading up to MCC with my parents for a college day and there was this lady in a black car, swerving back and forth along the road and not even using a blinker. So, for everybody’s safety and mine, we decided to call 911 to report it. Well, the operator asked us what do you think  could be causing this and we got up to her car and she was texting and was driving with her knees!!! I was furious! That could cause a huge accident! So, a police car was waiting for her up the road. Don’t let me catch you texting while driving. I’ll report you!!!!! Think about the consequences before you do something like that.
