A Distracted Driver

Even though Richard was driving the speed limit, he had an accident. The

weather was clear; nevertheless, he glanced briefly at a text message. He took his
eyes off the road just long enough to lose control and drive over the edge of the

road. Fortunately, his car landed upright. Although he wasn't seriously hurt, he was

quite shaken up.
This is Richard's second accident this year, so he knows his insurance rates

will go up. Now that he's had two accidents, he's upset with himself. However, he
knows his wife will be even more upset. He's not looking forward to telling her.
