it's not just teenagers who text and drive, iv seen so many adults do the exact same thing.


"I see this a trend in adults, if something goes wrong they blame the teens, or say "well mostly teens do it." Because they like using the "They are so young and stupid, they know nothing, they do everything wrong."

And Yes I have seen way more adults texting and driving than teens."

Not saying its ok for adults, but they seem to be saying they do so can we

I know that yesterday the driver in front of me had his head down moving about 30KPH while the lane next to us kept moving and a 100M gap appeared in front of him. Yes we missed the traffic lights, while about 20 cars and 2 semi trailers made it through the lights. Then the lights changed, his head was up and he was off like a startled rabbit. Don't tell me he wasn't txt ing!

Holy **** Meanz, that's very moving.

Perhaps everyone that gets a licence should be made to watch one of these regarding, speed, alcohol, and texting.

Wasn't my thread/link, it's Gary S11's I merely embedded it. Still, a very powerful message non-the-less...

it will never happen to me

that vid is several years old.

they showed that video to us in high school. brought a few tears to a few eyes especially as the year above us there had been a few die from car crashes. it is something that needs alot of attention though. i make sure i never do anything with the mobile while driving as it is not worth the risk of checking a message for your life

In support of those teenagers comments, I've been guilty of it. Not any more though, These days I'm busy concentrating on what are those extra sounds my turbo is making and trying to time the gear changes to minimise the passive smoking those following me are subject too...

great reminder though, pity the film maker didn't show the friends get packed in body bags for final effect. That would be very hard to live with, and the thing is we all probably know of someone (or someone who knows someone...) who is living with it. It isn't make believe that's for sure.
