I can't see youtube at work (firewall), but anyone caught texting while driving should be waterboarded.

 

Fortunately it was not at high speed, but I was rear ended once by a young lady who was applying her makeup at a stop sign once. I actually got see her in the act just before she bumped into me.......

Texting is so reckless, almost as bad as drinking....

Here's another example of what can happen if you're not payin attention behind the wheel

 

I don't get it. People understand this law, but not the one in another thread about requiring seatbelts! With others doing so many stupid this like texting, putting on make-up, etc...I don't see anything wrong with requiring me to where a seatbelt to protect me from other peoples stupidity!

 

You got that right Mike.

 

Wow!!!

 

I can't express it in any better way.

I couldn't see this at work today, but now that I watched all I can say is watching that just reaffirms my commitment to teaching my children the dangers of not being total focused on the road and surroundings when driving.

 

Sad sad sad..Makes me scared to drive..i'm 17.

 

I know what you are saying, but my thoughts on this is. Its not the governments responsibility to tell me what I have to do to be safe, but it is their job to ticket/stop people for doing stupid things behind the wheel of a car. Just like stopping people for drunkdriving, tailgating, speeding, ect. I think texting while driving falls into this catagory. My biggest thing about haveing to wear a seatbelt is here you dont have to wear a helmet on a motorcycle?!
