My last shift in the ED I had an 8 year old who was killed because her teenage sister was texting while driving. Last month I had a motorcyclist who was killed after a lady pulled out in front of him. Witnesses said she was texting.
It really is a serious issue. People think they can text and drive, but in reality we aren't as good at it as we think.
Don't do it. It's as simple as that. You risk your life and the lives of others when you do it.
