it's funny that at one point texting and driving was legal but talking on the phone and driving was illegal here in california
[QUOTE=Zaex;30142176]Not just texting, if he was texting he would have got the hint to stop after swerving off the road the first time, or almost hitting the car the first time, he wouldn't of almost hit a car, then be like fuck, and started texting again.[/QUOTE]
I figure it's probably just texting, since the guy obviously would have found out if it was something else long before posting the video online
..Why was he holding a camera while driving?

Gather evidence that the guy is either drunk driving or texting while driving.
He knew how to drive and he wasn't swerving so it doesn't matter anymore.
[QUOTE=mbutler2;30140129]I know many of you disagree with me. I text and drive but I have [b]never[/b] been that bad. I never swerve that bad.
That guy is overreacting just a little too much to be saying stuff like that. Don't freak out, only makes things worse.[/QUOTE]
Honestly, fuck people like you. You dumbasses endanger the lives of every one else out there, even if your swerving isn't "that bad." I hope when you do get into an accident because of texting and driving, I hope it's just you and the wall.
Really, I'd be more happy with someone texting and driving killing themselves rather than killing others around them for their own destructive decisions. If I ever witnessed something like the guy in the video did, I'd run to the person the idiot crashed into and leave the person texting and driving in the heap that used to be their car.
[QUOTE=superdinoman;30139813]I want anyone caught texting and driving to have their license taken away and forced to go back to driving school as punishment. Even if its a waste of their time and money, they deserve it for endangering so many lives.[/QUOTE]
Needs a 3-10 year suspension on your license too. Going back to driving school isn't a hard thing to do.

Yeah as I said a few posts later a nice long suspension is the best option.

i don't think you watched the whole video
How the hell can someone fuck up that much? If I saw a car driving like that I'd stay as far away as fucking possbile from it, unreliable as hell.
There is no way in hell the [b]only[/b] thing causing him to drive like that was the texting, anyone that believes that is an idiot.

Settle down. I find it perfectly reasonable that this was because the kid was texting.
I mean you're looking down and focusing on a tiny screen trying to send to your friend "OMG I ALMOS CRASHED!!!
No way this was only texting. You don't almost swerve off the road, and then almost get hit by an F150, and proclaim 'whoops lol' and go back to texting. There's no way that was only texting, I'm willing to bet he was under the influence.
there's no reason for anyone to swerve like that just by texting because i'm pretty certain he would be aware of the massive danger he's creating for himself
He must have been typing an essay into his phone wtf

You've clearly never watched one of those traffic police camera shows before because the shit some people do behind the wheel is literally unbelievable.
[QUOTE=mbutler2;30140129]I know many of you disagree with me. I text and drive but I have [b]never[/b] been that bad.[/QUOTE]
Your endangering yourself and everyone around you so you can talk to your friends. Really texting is way worse then talking because at least you can look at the road while talking.

why not?

i am very thankful you don't live near me.

i can think of 23 better things to do with my time
[QUOTE=matt.ant;30140051]Is using a phone while driving illegal in the US?[/QUOTE]
In most states, yes. The laws vary; some allow the use of hands-free headsets (like the bluetooth earpieces) whilst others don't allow any distractions whilst driving. As far as I know, all states have banned texting while driving.
The driver is a dumbass. I don't give a shit if he dies from crashing, just don't endanger fellow drivers.

Because they're entertaining. Nothing wrong with a bit of schadenfreude from time to time.
Texting and driving is bad. No matter how you are. I've tried once late at night on my way home from work and 2 seconds later I was almost in a ditch.
How the fuck do you even come up with the idea of texting and driving?
What a fucking dumb-ass
[QUOTE=binarybitz;30154698]How the fuck do you even come up with the idea of texting and driving?[/QUOTE]
by getting a text and wanting to reply?
This is what calling is for, what a dumbfuck.
And when I say calling, I mean calling using a hands-free accessory.
Last time I texted while driving, I killed a family of penguins.
Never again...
I once sent a message while driving in the city, i hit a concrete pillar. But i just went on because nothing happened since i drive a Volvo.
