I've never seen so many people texting and driving

Bet you sent this in your car.

Look at the road a-hole

I look at this often and the % of people texting
or messing with phone is incredible.

it's an epidemic

fasting growing killer

It is really really bad I see it all day long every day and I drive a lot.

By the way I did not text this message Siri wrote it out for me. I just hit send

Almost got wiped out this morning by someone merging into I10 while looking at their phone.

It's one thing to check your phone when youre stuck at a redlight for 2 minutes. It's another when youre doing 70mph on 10 surrounded by tractor trailers.

On the flip side, all I have to do in my car is keep it on the road and the damn thing will basically drive itself. The adaptive cruise will come to a complete stop and the lane-change warning will let you know you're leaving your lane.

That being said, the cruise control only works on other vehicles and obviously won't stop at a red light if you're the first car. More importantly, it doesn't pick up small objects on the road. If you're looking down it will plow right into a 4x4 post or a tire tread if it is in the road.

My texting and driving is hampered not by my fear of wrecking the vehicle and it being my fault, but by the inability to be a defensive driver and getting hit by another idiot.

Self driving cars can't get here fast enough

I only get on my phone when I'm sitting at a red light. I have no idea how anyone can possible look at their phone at the same time as while driving.
