Look Ma, One Hand

I saw a funny sign on the tip jar at "Perk Avenue" our local coffee shop the other day:

"No one uses their turn signals any more. They need thathand to talk on the cell phone."

It's not really that funny, though. Grace and I saw a lady drive for fifty yards with her right wheel in our lane. Then she drove another fifty with her left wheel in the median.

When I passed her I could see her face clearly, even though it was pitch black outside. Her face was being illuminated by her cell phone, as she tried to dial and steer with her forearms. And guys are just as guilty. Lately, any time I see someone weaving or driving too slow, they're on the phone.

A recent study showed that 80% of auto accidents are caused by people not paying attention. And 80% of the distraction came from cell phones.

Now, I don't know if "Miss Median" would be able to stay in her lane better with a Q-Link Personal Energy Pendant, but it would sure relax her mind and help her make better decisions about dialing and driving.

If you want increased mental clarity, improved focus and killer concentration, on the road, on the job or even on vacation, you should get a Q-Link of your very own.

Be careful out there.

P.S. The Q-Link also protects you from the harmful radiation produced by cell phones. So if you're using a cell phone (on-road or off) your brain would appreciate it if you protected it with a Q-Link.

"Miss Median"'s brain could definitely use the help.
