I Hate Seeing People Texting And Driving

It is actually illegal to do this in the UK.

On Monday my girlfriend Sophie (who is a paramedic) attended a road traffic accident. Young woman had come off the road, ploughed into an oak tree, partially exited the front windscreen headfirst, with tragic consequences.

And she still had her phone grasped in her left hand.

The only blessing is that the accident involved not other cars or pedestrians.

Please, just don't do it 😢

I can't stand it when people text & drive. They are COMPLETE MORONS.

I don't have a car & had to rely upon this guy to drive me around. Well guess what he did ALL the time & I'd try & say something & he'd get angry at me. Even yelled at me several times.

This is the US.

He would even make a right turn, & then stop in the middle of the road & text. He'd also fall asleep at the wheel (another story) & we once got into an rear end bumper b/c he didn't go when the light turned green & the person behind him wasn't paying attention & bumped into him.

While it wasn't major, on the way to the health care center he almost plowed into the wall underneath the highway b/c he fell asleep.

I know you will all say I shouldn't have driven with him b/c my life was at risk, but I didn't feel I had a choice as I had no way to get around fast & to certain places without someone driving me. It was almost impossible to find anyone to help in Vegas as it's a very fucked up city. I tried.

But I hated people texting even prior to this experience.
