and Elnots: that's so impressive that you could send texts on the old analog cell phones from the 90s!
Being a "good driver" doesn't mean you don't get into an accident. It also means you don't CAUSE any accidents.
Besides, if I'm driving, I'm bizzy. Leave a message and I'll call you back. I got better stuff to do besides say "LOL" and flip my damn vehicle into a semi because you're talking about last night's date.
I have seen people using their phone while driving, and their driving suffers. I have used a phone while inside a car, and have no idea how I could possibly drive safely while using that phone. It's like reading a book.
Yes, there are a million possible distractions, but this is one that is happening a lot because of people who think they can do it safely. That's the reason for the video, even if you think it's melodramatic. I don't know if I'd call defending a dangerous practice a common-sense scenario.
There should be SERIOUS jail time for texting while driving. Serious.
