Dear Editor
I’m writing to offer my condolence to the family and friends of the family tragically killed by an alleged drunk driver near Saskatoon. As tragic as this is and as we acknowledge how this behaviour disgusts us as a society, there are some among us who commit a more evil crime and think it OK or nothing bad. This crime is driving and using a cellphone.
I say more evil because, as of the end of 2015, deaths by cellphone is now greater than all other causes of accidents.
So for all you drivers who think it’s OK to put children, mothers, fathers, grandparents, dogs and cats in jeopardy, you are in that category with a drunk driver, a despicable human being who does not deserve to walk amongst us.
Willfully taking another’s life by breaking the law is a crime. Maybe cellphone laws should reflect that.
