WATCH Youtube Video: Dear Mom and Dad – Distracted Driving Video, by MissHaily88. In this compelling video you will hear a daughter apologizing for the pain and sorrow she has caused her family. The young woman was distracted while driving. She explains how she was raised to know better than this. That her loving parents took much time to instill into her the dangers of distracted driving. Despite the many warnings, the girl drove distracted and lost her life. Her final request to her parents was to discourage distracted driving and do that in her memory.
