Simple present or present continuos

Hi,

1.Take care when you are driving;your life is not a game.
2.Take care when you drive ;your life is not a game.

What is the difference between the two sentences?

Thanks.

There isn't a great deal of difference in this case. The first one is slightly more vivid in its description of activity in progress. The spacing is wrong after the number and around the semicolon.
