What a scary situation! Those are wonderful tips and you are so right, the best and really the only reliable safety measure is your undivided attention! A split second and everything could change. I love hearing about my daughters' day after school but I have to remind them that I have to keep my full attention on the road.. It's always hard for my 7 year old who wants to share immediately. I appreciate your candor in this post and agree, we've all allowed ourselves to be distracted but when you think about the possible consequences nothing is worth the risk.
