That was pretty messed up but it definitely got the point across. You might think you're invincible when your a teenager and not put much thought into your actions because of it but your actions can affect many people besides yourself. I'm surprised I'm still alive after all these years.

[Billy Golightly]

I read somewheres, that the reaction time of a driver texting is worse than that of a drunk driver TWICE OVER the legal limit. Thats amazing.

[Gearheadtom]

I've been in with more than one person that would text while they drive, and I remember them almost rear-ending someone once.
I got my license in may, but I don't have a cell phone so know one has to worry about me texting while driving.

[Triple B!]

You're right, but it's not just teenagers doing it.... I've seen many adults talking/texting while driving, even police officers. Scary when this video puts it in that vivid of a perspective. People need to realize that what they are doing, or in this case what they are not paying attention to can have great ramifications upon more than just themselves. I admit I used to talk on the phone alot while driving, but not half as much any more. I don't think I would ever text while driving, holy crap......

[longbedGTs]

Everyday I see people playing with their cellphone drifting in and out of their lane. People will never learn no matter how many videos like this they see. They need to find out for themselves...I just hope theyre the only one involved...and the accident happens behind me so I can keep on goin' down the road.

[ditchmud]

LMAO good stuff.

What?????????????????????????????:crazy:

Tanks 350x,
Thanks for spreading this around. I will do the same.

[daniel_250r]

funny i see this i watched this movie starring will smith were he texts while driving and kills his wife and a few other people he ends up commiting suicide and giving away his organs to the poeple whose lives are ruined

[Mosh]

I absolutely can't stand people that text and drive.
Everytime I see it, I want to jerk the idiots out of their car in the middle of the road and beat them with their damn phone.

Many " car crashes" are referred to as a "Auto Accident"
BS...Many can be avoided..
A "Auto accident" would be more along the lines of driving down the highway, and a boulder falling off a mountain and hitting a car..That is a accident.
There is probably over 100 car crashes per day in the U.S. alone, due to cell phone / text messaging while driving..:crazy:


Thank goodness in Ohio, there are 4 potential bills on the books that are going to make texting and driving illegal. They are just waiting for approval.

Ditto what Billy said..They did a study, and the drunk actually is more focused on driving than the texter.
Problem is, The ratio of texters, to drunk drivers, is probably around 100,000 to 1 at any given time.

[Dirtcrasher]

I truly believe that within a very short time, text messaging will use "voice recognition" and turn your voice into words.

IDK what the deal with text messaging is, it's fricken annoying. I use to stop whaty I was doing to reply...... It's makes it easy to not have any real conversation.

uh, i would guess at LEAST a thousand. actual values probably much higher

[code200k]

i dont text and driving it not worth it..but this week im doing parking at the dutchess county fair and people really get very mad if i ask them to get off the phone till they are parked

[rdlsz24]

lmao turn your voice into words, send it to another person's phone in text where it will be turned into words for them. What have we become??

Rob

[300rman]

What i dont understand is people that cant talk and drive. whats the difference between talking to someone on the phone, or talking to the person sitting in the seat next to you?

[Dirtcrasher]

IMO, texting is stupid and annoying, just give the person a call. Unless it's "the party is ON!!" texted to 25 people in one shot. Or in the sense of the dating world and the first few awkward days or weeks, texting makes it easy to "play safe" and merely say "had a great time, hope to see you again" Heaven forbid you go out with someone have a great time and actually call them and tell them so, you'll frighten them off like a crazed needy stalker :lol: so texting is beneficial in that regard......

I'm curious to see where all this tech will lead us, it's very easy now to avoid actual conversation involving FEELINGS and EMOTIONS!!

When I F'd around with the neighbor, she loved texting. Probably so she could text 5 guys at once saying "hey, I was thinking about you, when we gonna get together?" thus creating 5 dates at once. Now THATS multitasking :lol:

My buddies GF comes over, lays in my hammock and just start texting everyone she knows. For the next 20 minutes its' BZZZ BZZZ BZZZ and another response from her with yet more replies. I think texting and "needy people" go hand in hand. Anyone who has there own agenda and things to do is actually ANNOYED by the phone...........;)

I think allot of people are just avoiding an actual conversation when texting so it will never end. The only solution that I can see that still avoids human contact is voice recognition converted to text.....

[brapp]

i literaLy thre my computor and ran to the bathroom and threw up when i seen the little baby and instantly tought of my little girl. its just sickening

Exactly. In the amount of time it takes me to txt a message to someone I could have called them, said everything I needed and been done. When we the younger generation grow old it will be a better world, well atleast seniors wont be able to drive because we will have arthritis in all the joints of our hands

My blackberry actually does that where I say it and it appears on the screen and asks me who to send it to and I just have to say they're name and say send and it goes. And when a message comes in it asks me if I want it to read it out loud to me.

Rob

me too....my daughter looked at me right when they showed the blue eyes

[tanks350x]

It just goes to prove that alot of the footage in this vid. is doing what it is suposed to do...(Deterring alot of you from texting while driving,)... Not that any of you are texting while driving that is....But I hope that it is

The worst driver on the road is a sleepy drunk texter! Even if you die at the wheel, at least you're likely to drift off the road into a ditch. But when you're a sleepy drunk texter you make an effort to keep going. :lol:

I will text while driving, but only on the interstate. Don't look at the phone just look at the road, it was a lot easier before touchscreens. Don't have to look, it's easier than adjusting most of the fancy radios people have in their cars these days.


Texting is helpful when you have a job like mine. Phone calls are impossible to make, yet there is NOTHING to do.


I might send 1-200 texts a month these days. A few years ago when I could be found in a bar 6 nights a week...eh, I'd send up to 15k a month...easy. Had to organize a new slough of drunk sluts to drink with every night.

I watched up to 1 min - 10 sec, don't want to see that again :(

[tanks350x]

So here I was last saturday driving over my girls house, minding my own business. I was on a rural road , just cruising the speed limit. The road had a curve to the left for me. I look up ahead, and here's an F-150 veering into my lane, coming at me head on, I said holy trailprotrailprotrailprotrailpro, Hit the shoulder on my right, my truck went up on a banking, and the right front tire hit a rock formation, jerked the wheel out of my hands and I came to a stop.I jumped out looking at the guy saying what the F. He kept right on going. I looked at the tire and wheel and there is a huge chunk missing at the bead area. It still held air though. I get back on the road, now the steering wheel is way off, because it bent the tie-rod end. The tire eventually went flat too....The moral of the story is, I bet that sum-biatch was text messaging:mad: :mad: :mad:
So know I'm out a wheel, tire, and a front end allignment, because of a trailprotrailprotrailprotrailprotrailprotrailprotr ailpro that was text messaging

[Dirtcrasher]

^ Dam, better luck next time DEEPA; at least he couldn't tell it was you with the wig on :lol:

[Mosh]

A few Counties here in Ohio, just passed the laws...
It is now a 200$ fine for texting while driving...
Not enough incentive if you ask me, but hey, it is a start in the proper direction...


WOOOT!


Sorry to hear about your misfortune Tank..
