Hey if Bill Gates can’t get Windows to multi-task without crashing, why should a human expect too?!
I thought there was going to be a law AGAINST it, not FOR it.
Every time I see some jackass talking on a phone while driving, I wish I was a cop for about ten minutes. I’d pull them over, smash their phone with my heel, and say “Have a nice day”.
Kinda makes me nostalgic for the good ole days of CB radios and that horrible 'Convoy' song!!
Yeah, the market for that sort of thing is pretty small.
Towing two cars adds a whole lot of inertia.
Well, it was pretty hot out yesterday - good time for a dip in the pool./sarc
Epic fail.
What are people thinking? It’s hard enough for people to talk on a cell phone, let alone texting while they drive. This guy deserves to spend some time in jail.
He was probably texting himself. People do that.
Series question: What is texting and why is everybody doing it?
I’ve been on the road quite a bit lately. One thing I’ve noticed everywhere I go, the person doing something stupid in traffic without exception is on the phone or texting.
Preisch said the flatbed truck was towing two vehicles, with two motor cycles on the bed. - (and talking on a cell phone while textig on another!)

OK, it’s at least debatable whether a law against using a cellphone while driving is necessary - some people can manage it, some people can’t, so it’s not by definition careless. Texting, on the other hand, requires taking your eyes off the road for extended periods, so by definition it’s careless (like reading or watching a movie while driving), which we already have laws against.
In before the libertarians who don’t want the government telling anyone they can’t text and talk and drive at the same time.
The last time I posted on a thread about this subject, some were of the opinion that texting while driving was mainly a problem with women. I noted that I have seen truck drivers (males) texting. Now this unfortunate accident.
It’s not just a problem with women. It’s a problem with immature people. They see nothing wrong with driving while texting and they believe they will live forever. Reality bites doesn’t it.
If people don’t learn to give up their phone and texting habit while driving, there will be many more deaths and injuries in the future.
And, for good measure...

And now for the actual photo of the actual incident referenced above:
Have a nice day!
Another Darwin nominee ???
Just about as bad as the teenage girl who was texting while walking on the sidewalk on Staten Island - fell into an open manhole on top of a pile of sh*t !!!
