11.I believe that people should stop texting while driving because it not only endangers themselves but others around them.Family members,friends and strangers can be hurt by a simple mistake; their lives can be overturned (倾覆) completely.
Before I participated in the Thumb Wars campaign,I used to put sticky (粘的) notes inside my car to advise any person that was within it not to text while driving.I posted a quote on my social pages that said,"Drive now text later."The message especially caught my dad's attention.Since he is on the road about three out of the seven days of the week,we are all worried about his safety.He decided to never use his phone while driving.When it comes to informing other people about the dangers of texting while driving,I usually bring up conversations about driving which then lead me to lecture them on why they shouldn't text while driving.Thumb Wars has given me a new way and opportunity to prevent people from texting while driving.
The era we live in today is all about technology,and there is always the urge to text.Thumb Wars is an inspirational campaign that fights against that.What I was trying to achieve was to not only change my life,but also try to influence the lives of others for the better.I believe that I can make people realize the consequences of texting while driving.They all know that it is not worth it and could change someone's life instantly.I believe that if there were more campaigns like Thumb Wars there would be fewer accidents because more people would be aware of the effects of texting while driving.
All a person needs is inspiration and efforts to avoid texting while driving.Thumb Wars is a good channel,which makes it the ideal campaign to help with others and make a difference in this world.
