[QUOTE=assholev2;35033949]help! i need the guberment to protect me from myself!111[/QUOTE] It's a good thing that all cars safely vaporize into a harmless cloud of gas whenever the driver looses control, or that would be a stupid post.
How the fuck does one even use Facebook every 90 seconds.
"Eating out right now" "Still eating" "Took another bite of my meal" "Oh this is so good" "Taking a few sips of my drink" *Insert more generic facebook posts here.*
I got a new dictionary today. It looks like they updated the meaning of irony to this very news story!

Texting that you can't text while driving is still stupid.
The amount of people I see out there on their phone or texting while driving is crazy. It fucking scares the shit out of me. And in Victoria, Australia, I have no idea why you'd do it, since the punishment is huge. It's a couple hundred dollars fine, and 3 demerit points - and for a novice or probationary driver (first 4 years), that's most of your point allowance, before you get suspended.
Darwin Award of the Year. :v:

Facebooking every time you take a shit sounds pretty funny if you just wanna mess with your friends.
I honestly can't see how, let alone why, anyone would attempt to text and drive. Even talking to someone, be it within the vehicle or on a hands free phone, adds some distraction, but texting, I truly can't understand it. Then again, I dislike even taking one hand off the wheel for a few seconds to do something simple (turn up the AC for example), so perhaps I'm too cautious; but, you almost have to be with all of the idiots out there.
What annoys me even more about this is whilst I am sad that a young life was lost, it was her fault and her fault alone (her choice to pick up the phone and text/facebook), she could have crashed into and seriously harmed or killed a totally innocent person who was not doing anything stupid whilst driving. It was in the local paper recently about a woman who was killed when a man who was on the phone drifted across the road. He got away with minor cuts and bruises.
She was a very pretty girl, I wish I could go back in time and tell her not to be dumb and just put the phone down for a few minutes. You guys have to think, she was a human being and any loss of life is sad regardless of the circumstances.
Laser guided irony.

[QUOTE=NoobieWafer223;35033681]I only READ texts at a STOP LIGHT. I don't reply unless I'm parked somewhere, like a drive-thru or a parking lot waiting for someone. I hardly even answer my phone. Only for a split second to tell them I'll call them back. I'm a careful driver and keep all my attention on the road at all times. This here, is just plain stupid. I can't stand shit like this.[/QUOTE] I bet your one of them drivers who can't drive at all and just call it careful driving but are more dangerous than other people.
[QUOTE=Last or First;35021607]"This girl died using Facebook too much. So let's announce her funeral on Facebook." So much sense. [I]So much.[/I] I found her profile, but I think it must have been a private message. Then again, she has that stupid 'Timeline' thing, and I barely know anything about how Facebook works.[/QUOTE] Should they have announced it on Google Plus?
[QUOTE=Emperor Scorpious II;35019839]Darwin Award of the Month right there. I text and drive at times, but never going beyond 45 mph. At higher speeds, you need complete attention to the roads. That woman was just an idiot and she paid the price for it.[/QUOTE] "hahaha he OD'd on cocaine what a moron oh dont worry guys i only do 3 lines a week lol it doesnt matter!!!"
People shouldn't really text and drive I was on the road the other day, kid was driving a brand new Mercedes, he was texting as well, had to honk at him at every light for him to move, always swerving back and forth, and he finally got clipped by a truck. front of his car was completely ruined.

When I drive I keep my phone down and make my friend answer the phone for me or write replies for text messages.
I guess she had it [i]semi[/i] coming.
That's what you get.
