You know you do this-- text while driving.

This is part of a short film from England.

I see it every day on the road, on the highway. Every day. Every damn day.

This is an amazing PSA. I think the ones for workplace safety from Canada are also pretty compelling. Check this one out:

Looks like Austin's banning it. I wonder about enforceability...

I have to say, I have never tried texting while driving. I don't think I could handle it . . . but then I hardly ever drive. Putting a CD into the CD player is hard enough .

That's so judgmental. Lots of people text and drive and never get in any accidents.

Dear Anonymous at 12:14 a.m.:

Statistics say otherwise. The most recent set of statistics says that texting while driving is the equivalent of driving while drinking with an alcohol blood level of three to four times the legal limit.

But then, you're probably one of those guys who says it is his "constitutional right" to yell "fire" in a crowded theater.

Quite sobering...and quite a downer. Must say I am guilty of doing it at times, but I know it is such an awful habit.

Anon 12:14 - I hope that your comment was a terrible failure at sarcasm. If not, you're an idiot. Maybe I should introduce you to my client whose husband was killed by a driver who was text messaging and ran a red light. Or, I could introduce you to their children.
