Default Texting dangers.

I don't go off topic to often. I have had close calls with other car while driving my E-450 and seen them texting. Just think is that little chat etc worth your life or someone else. Warning video is graphic but I think it needs to be. So please watch and drive carefully and safe. I hope to all of you for a long time. Maurice .

Its so sad how horrible the results can be if you let yourself get distracted. If you must text wait until your in a parking lot...

I'll admit I do it, but its only to say, "I'm driving text me later"

I've seen some very bad accidents from texting, and it's not something to just fling off... one of my friends nearly died because he thought he could text while driving down a dirt road... He's still alive (thank god) but he ain't texting while driving anymore

I see too many of my classmates doing that. What pisses me off though is that this summer we had two class mates die (out of 2 100 person classes) because of careless driving, and people still text and drive and distract themselves otherwise. The two deaths weren't cellphone related, but they were caused by distraction/ lack of attention nonetheless.

It's against the law here in VA to drive and text. However, I saw one idiot driving on I-64 with his laptop in his lap while driving! He was swerving all over the road.
