This may sound wild, but there are studies that show that texting and driving is even more dangerous than driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol in many instances. At :52 into the video, a car backs up and literally runs over a pedestrian. The likelihood is that it was the pedestrian who may have been distracted while texting. There’s an interesting story of a “texting” addict who rear-ended a car while texting.
Her daughter was in the back seat, unstrapped, and suffered a broken nose and facial bruises as a result. The woman’s grandmother bought her a new car, and two weeks later, the “texting” addict totals the new care when she rear-ends another car—while texting. A lot of people text and drive, and this video should provide a reason not to. Check out the video and decide whether this woman should have her license suspended.
