This might should be in the Fail Thread, but I thought it was more serious. Please be careful out there. It might not be just you that gets injured when you drive with distractions.

Our company is in the process of adding a device call "CellControl" in all company vehicles. I have installed one in my truck and if your wheels are turning it will block your smartphone from texting, emails, ect. If I had a teenage driver I would install one in there vehicle ASAP.

I've had 3 different women veer into my lane head on in the past 2 months. All of em straightened up and then their heads went right back down to their phones. Gotta be on your toes all the time.

friendly warning to anyone visiting starkville in the next few weeks:
