I think texting while driving is almost as bad as driving drunk, not even looking at the road, see it everyday, all over the road with no regard for the safety of others, no excuse. Lot of people going to die from this type of irresponsible behavior. Difficult to enforce the law on this one.

Stopped at a red light the other morning...guy in the lane next to me gets rear ended, I look over at the young lady at fault, she looked so surprised, still had her phone in hand.

From what i have read, a person texting at a reasonable speed will travel 100yds. in 4 seconds...so that is the length of a football field without looking at the road
