Default Re: Texting while Driving

Last month I was sitting at a light in my XF. Light turns green, I start to go and look to my left. Here comes a lady driving a SUV talking on the cell and not noticing that she had a red light. She blew past at 60 mph and never noticed.

Had I not looked I would have died.

A good friend's daughter was T-boned by a minivan. Lady with 3 kids in the car was talking on the phone and didn't notice the red light. My friend's daughter was air lifted to trauma center and spent 2 weeks in the hospital; could have been a lot worse. Don't know what happened to people in the minivan.

We have to pass laws about texting and using cell phones while driving!
