Outlawing Text Messaging While Driving
Posted Tuesday, Jul 01, 2008 by zenithuk
Suddenly, those drivers talking on their cellphones seem relatively harmless, at least when compared to drivers who are staring at their cellphones, texting. An estimated 20 percent of drivers are sending or receiving text messages while behind the wheel, according to a Nationwide Insurance study. And, according to another poll, that number skyrockets to 66 percent when drivers 18 to 24 are isolated. The practice, especially popular among young people, is exacting a deadly toll.

educatedowl,
I went back and read all of your comments and missed the sarcasm. I had my head temporarily up and locked, and I stand corrected.
