Letters to the Editor...

Dear Editor,

The other day I was leaving campus, I had just pulled out of my parking space and started toward the exit of the parking lot when a speeding car running across the parking lanes almost hit me. After slamming on the breaks to avoid an accident I looked over at the other driver to find they were talking on a cell phone!

...Studies have shown that driving while using a cell phone is more dangerous than driving drunk. There are currently six bills in the Georgia Legislature concerning cell phone usage while driving.

We at Georgia Highlands College need to move to the forefront of this dangerous issue... Behind the wheel is no place to talk on the cell phone. Developing good cell phone habits now may not only save your life but prevent a ticket in the near future.
