London Rayne, I hope you were being some what of a smart ass when talking about texting while driving and making so light of it. I know a young mother who went through a C section. Four days later, the mom, dad, baby and grandmother were leaving the hospital when they were hit from behind while stopped at a red light. They were hit by a 16yo texting while driving. Their car was pushed into the intersection where they were T boned. The impacts were so hard the seat belt ripped open the C section incision. No fatalities but they all suffered neck, nerve/muscular injuries. The kid was banned until he's 18.
Take a look at this video below. People ask me if this is real, or actors. I just say yes, what the fuck difference does it make.
Texting while driving (TWD) is worse than DWI. TWD takes away over 35% of your consentration. 25% of the estimated 40,000 traffic fatalities are caused by TDW. You are 15 times more liable to have a wreck when texting over not.
