After a crash, Prince Jackson asks you to stop texting & driving

On Nov. 2nd last year I got hit while I was riding my motorcycle. I was riding to school around 7am it had been raining that week and light rain on this particular day. I had a feeling that I probably shouldn’t have ridden that day but I did, I felt like I should turn on my camera but I didn’t and right before 7am a large work truck made a left in front of me. I grabbed my brakes until I could feel the ABS kick in but it wasn’t enough and I hit the right side of the truck. I was really fortunate that my injuries were not major and not permanent because I thought it would end badly. After the impact and me yelling obscenities in the street trying to catch my breath I realized 2 things. 1) riding motorcycles is dangerous and can be deadly and 2) I was getting back on one. Now I have a new bike as my Low Rider was completely totaled in the crash and I’m trying to learn to be a better rider and taking my time. I’m sure I’ll be talking about this in detail in future videos but I think the important takeaway is I was hit because someone thought a text was more important than driving. I don’t care who you are or what you do a text message ain’t worth someone’s life or yours. I hate seeing people on their phone while driving because most people do not understand that a car is capable of causing a significant amount of damage and is something that requires constant attention. If you get bored while driving how bout looking out for motorcyclists and get off your stupid fucking phone.
