Driving and Texting

[DerbyCat]

This video was all over the news earlier this week and I finally watched the whole thing here:

Very graphic, very sad and unfortunately, all too real.

Back when I was a CHP officer I didn't have to deal with folks talking on cell phones or texting (wow, things sure have changed a lot in 20 years) but the results of inattentive (and drunk) driving haven't changed at all - auto accidents are ugly, violent and messy.

I'd like to hope that seeing something like this would make people change their ways but I'm smart enough to know that a majority of people think "it won't happen to me, I'm careful".
