Yeah, I saw a young lady texting as she was speeding up to a red light yesterday thinking, “let it wait till you get to where you got to go so you get there safely and everyone around you”.
It’s insane to use a cellphone while driving. Texting is even worse! It’s bad enough that people do these things while walking down busy sidewalks and crossing streets. I can’t tell you how many people (mostly women) whose lives I likely saved here in New York by warning them that a car was bearing down on them while they were mindlessly crossing the street pushing buttons on their cell, not looking up once to check for traffic. On the sidewalk they walk right into you or other obstacles because they are not looking where they’re going.
