Texting still got them into the accident which could still potentially kill someone or someone else for that matter.

Seatbelts aren't 100%

If a video made you realized that you shouldnt be texting and driving, you should really give your head a shake. It's pretty simple, if you take your eyes off the road something is bound to happen.

Funny thing is, when I was in a car that rolled time slowed down. And I thought to myself, "so this is what it's like to be a rally car driver". And then I got a bunch of dirt in my mouth haha.

texting and driving is more dangerous than talking on the phone.

especially with iphones where you cant feel the keypad, so you really need to look down to do it.

Why not pull over to the side of the road and do all of those?

If you're stupid enough to text and drive.. good riddance. You just don't fucking get it.

Please try not to kill my family when you decide to kill yourself in the process. Thank you, drive through.

Someone who doesn't care about what their social peers and complete strangers think about them. Y'know, the rest of the world that doesn't care about stupid things like "face," etc.

It really comes down to PAYING ATTENTION. People don't give driving the attention it deserves, it's part of our entire culture...eating, texting, make up, no one gives a shit. How many people would do the same thing driving a forklift or a golf cart at 100km/h? Texting and flying a cessna?

Texting and driving has this stigma attached to it, but any distraction is just as bad.

In North America, we are already the slowest and shittiest drivers in the world, the last thing we need is distractions.
