About a week ago, some 18 year old girl was texting and driving, and she hit my girlfriend's mom's co-worker so hard that the lady died. I personally think texting and driving is worse than driving drunk. People that do it should be fined very hard, if not sentenced to jail.
 
2 weeks ago i entered the freeway saw a guy on the phone for a quick second he was holding it but not to his ear dont know if he was on speaker or reading a text or texting..then as he passed me i was like 7 cars behind him on the next lane all of a sudden i see him go sideways and smoke from tires blinded everyone and like 7 cars piled up and smacked him i avoided it got close..good thing i was close to the slow lane because it happen on the fast lane..to me when i saw it. it seemed like the guy didnt check before he switched lanes or didnt check his blind spot due to distraction on being on the phone..

phone and driving is not a good idea..i see it so much here in san diego i get away from them when there next to me...
 
Anyone CAN text and drive, it's not theoretically impossible, it's just stupid and irresponsible. It's also illegal in many states (including my own).
 
anyone can text and drive ... however when you crash and kill someone ... you will know the texting was a bad idea.
