Luke sent me an interesting article about people who text message while driving. He and I have had several conversations about this subject, and I'm not going to lie--I hate it! Drivers just don't pay attention. A car in front of you will start going really slow, and when you pass them, there they are, texting away. I have seen a lot of near accidents due to people texting, dialing phone numbers, and even jotting down some notes or a phone number while driving. Do people not realize they are in a vehicle? That could kill people? There are enough bad drivers that are paying attention! The only other thing that bugs me as much as driving while texting are those stupid phones that permanantly attach to a person's ear. All the sudden someone is talking to you at the grocery store and even though you don't know who they are, you try to be polite and respond. Then, they look at you like you are crazy, and as they walk away, you realize they are talking to someone on the phone. Most of the time, I can't see the phone, and I wonder if they are talking to themselves. Does anyone remember the days when people who walked around talking to themselves was an oddity? A reason to be alarmed? Anyway, enough ranting. Check out this article and see if you agree that phones in general are making our society a bunch of reckless drivers. http://articles.moneycentral.msn.com/Insurance/InsureYourCar/ShouldDrivingWhileTextingBeACrime.aspx
