this is the result of not following them. People die. Texting is almost more dangerous drinking and driving. It's friggin' stupid to do. I don't even like the radio when I'm driving. I tune out my wife, the radio, and the kids when I'm driving. When you're driving, you have one job. Get that 2000+ pound death machine to your destination with yourself and your passengers alive.
I don't even take a sip of beer when I'm at dinner if I have to drive. I'm boring as hell, but I'm 41 years old, and I haven't been in an accident since I started driving, and that's way more important.
