I for one have been a witness of what can happen when you text and drive. I was waiting at a bus stop here in Vegas, along with another woman and an old man, and I decided since the bus wouldn't come for another half an hour, I would get a monster from 7-11. I come back and I see an SUV parked in the damn bus stop. its all barked up, everything smashed to bits. I have my wife pick me up, and I go home, and i see on the news that the old man i was sitting next to died in that accident. a woman was texting while driving her ford explorer, and plowed right into the bus stop.
they aren't going to rebuild that stop, so I have to walk ANOTHER couple blocks to get on the bus. I also visited the old mans family that next week to give my condolences. people that do this shit makes me sick. its a different thing than TALKING and driving. some people can affectively drive and talk at the same time. but texting needs constant attention, and so does driving. texting while driving, in my opinion needs to be a felony.
