Texting while driving

[BrianR]

I see this and worse every day. And while I am guilty of eating/drinking/smoking whilst driving, even taking on the phone while driving (headset only!), I never allow anything to take my attention away from what I am doing...driving!

Tell me the guy reading the newspaper (wide open yet) can even see. Or the guy changing his PANTS on the Schuylkill during rush hour and-a-half. At 35 mph.

What about the woman who took off her seat belt to turn completely around, let go of the wheel, and minister to her crying baby in the back? At 65 mph? Makeup, shaving, computers, even the lowly dash radio seems to command more interest than where one is going. I've seen lovemaking, changing/dressing, eating a bowl of chili (was driving with his knees) and even fighting (punching) at the wheel. I bet I see even worse things as my career comes along. I ain't seen everything yet!

I fear for the survival of the young generation.
