Texting while driving
    #22162628 - 08/29/15 09:49 PM (8 years, 4 months ago)

http://www.phonearena.com/news/Texting-while-driving-now-the-leading-cause-of-teen-death-in-the-U.S._id42906

Now the leading cause of death among teens. Two interesting points:

1. People believe they can multitask which has been shown to be an illusion - and this is good supporting evidence.

This is the important one (sorry, no link):

2. Friends and families of those killed rarely change their own behavior regarding talking/texting while driving even after the deep emotional pain! What would it take?

It is as if they were immune to making a similar mistake.Hubris, anyone?

Idk. I got a ticket for texting and driving, but there wasn't a car on the road (besides the cop sitting in an apartment complex). Never did it again and won't do it again. :shrug:

Obviously this is due to Newton's third law:
Idiotic faggots will continue to be idiotic faggots regardless of external forces. :cookiemonster:

“The happy song makes me HAPPY," 33 yo cutie Courtney Sanford wrote on Facebook of the hit song by Pharrell Williams a minute before she drove across the meridian and was killed.

Died with a smile on her mutilated face. :dying:

hate to say it but obviously learner drivers going for their license are going to suck at texting while driving, i mean they are barely competent at driving yet :crazy:

It's the same reason why people ride motorcycles and smoke cigarettes after they are made aware they are statistically more likely to die from those activities.  "It won't happen to me."  I don't know if I would call it hubris, I would be more inclined to call it a delusion.  I could see a satisfactory argument for hubris though.

Yeah, but hubris is a cool word to slip into a conversation. :nerd:
