I have been on more accident scenes (just like the video) than i care to remember. Any kind of distraction can cause the same results. Texting while driving is about as foolish as it gets.Gunbot wrote:A public service announcement from Wales that doesn't pull any punches.

I have unlimited texting, net, etc.. on my phone but I would rather talk as well. The written word has no inflection in tone to how something is really being said.

I've seen people do all kinds of crazy stuff while their driving.... putting on mascara, watching a DVD, looking at and messing with their GPS, looking thru their CD collection, having sex, fighting, , drinking alcohol, smoking doobage ( used to see joints more now its blunts) and many times reading....newspapers, maps....I've even seen people have a book propped up on the steering wheel. You name it and people do it while swerving. I've also heard people say : " I drive better when I'm drunk"

It's stupid to call someone just to say "I'm on my way now" or "I'm outside, open the door/come down" or even "what time was the thing tonight?" There's no need for tone in those messages. One of my friends, who I'm always picking up or visiting, refuses to pay text charges so I have to call her for everything.

We fucking waited til we got to home or a destination to make a call. Fortunately I'm not one of these who's life line is having a cell phone in my ear at all waking moments.
