So sick of drivers texting while driving!

Man, the future is so weird. Texting is becoming the new drunk driving. Who knew technology would make people worse drivers.

Insurance should have to pay some kind on inconvienence (misspelled) compensation to the victim of someone stuck on stupid.

i see lots of people holding the phones talking on them and I am sure they are texting too. If I ever do it it's while I am at a red light and not moving. I don't trust other people enough to take my eyes off the road.

i am with you there, i said before my car was hit by some one talking on her cell phone, had the nerve to ask me if i pulled out in front of her, ugh i was sitting in the road waiting to turn left there was an 18 wheeler coming so i was waiting on it. she came up behind me 55 miles an hour just boom she went, she didnt even pull to the right to get off the road, she went between me and the 18 wheeler, thank god the truck driver stopped told the cops what happened, who would believe somebody was stupid enough to go between me and a truck instead of turning right off the road.

I never even thought about comparing texting to drunk driving but its so true! when your drunk your capability is compromised and when your reading a text your totally not looking at the road even if it is just a few seconds if your on the freeway doing 80 those few seconds can change your life or end it scary thought.

yes unfortuenly this is a big problem these days such a shame how many accidents are caused by this i just think as society we have to learn about giving out brain a break i am not excusing this behavior but ppl are so busy so they think they can multi task or maybe an important text i just think we need to change

Some people shouldn't even be driving but I don't think that the cellular phone is completely to blame.  If they are distracted by a conversation than they shouldn't be allowed to have any devices in the car that play music and passengers shouldn't be allowed in the car. Should people have their hair taken away because they are combing/brushing/curling it while driving?  Make-up abolished because people apply it while driving? These are some extreme circumstances, and I am sorry that you were put out by an inconsiderate driver, but taking away cellular phones isn't the answer.

Why do people have to text all the time away? Can't they talk to the people whom they are around at the moment. Gee maybe they might make some knew friends.

I think texting should be outlawed and a stiff fine for doing it.  I don't know how you can be focused on your driving, when your eyes are searching out the letters.  WoW!  I guess she couldn't.  Sorry for your misfortune!

Omg I seen a reck today like the man was driving texting and didn't pay attention to the light and ran it and hit this old lady walking !!!!!

It takes me so long to text that I could get from New York City to Pittsburgh while I was texting one message which is why I don't do it.

  So sorry to hear that happened to you.  I will be honest I can't stand people who text or talk on the phone while they drive, it is tempting to do at times I will admit but I see people do stupid things all the time even while talking on their cell.  Their were a lot of tv ads a while back about people who had loved ones die as a result of texting or reading texts but doesn't stop people apparently.  Hope this ordeal is over for you soon.

I agree. People don't value their lives. I see people texting and driving everyday. I have almost been hit by a person attempting to use their phone and make a sharp turn at the same time. I really wish that people would consider the lives of other more often when they are on the road.

So sorry to hear that! Hope everything works out for you. I totally agree....texting while driving is like both suicide and murder. Not only can you kill yourself  but you can kill someone else. I think the only way to stop texting while driving is to impose heavier fines. Maybe something like some jail time combined with heavy fines and/or community service. Just a thought.
