47 people were killed and 7,300 injured last year in the state of Minnesota from distracted driving. That's a sad, but deadly fact. We're all guilty of it if you have a cell phone. It's not worth losing your life over a Facebook status.

This week, there is a big crackdown on distracted driving in Minnesota. If you're at a stop light and you're looking down, chances are you will get pulled over. Police aren't stupid. They know what to look for. And besides, what you are doing is illegal.

There are extra patrols on the roads this week to look for distracted drivers. I hope you're not one of them. -Alan
