Ba-Dunka-Dunk Posted December 31, 2010 Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 i swear i hate watching things like that, it doesnt do shit but put me in a depressed state for like 15 mins lol i usually try to shoot texts off at the red light tho if i need to Even texting at a red light can be dangerous too. Someone behind you might not even be looking at the road to see the red light and hit you from behind :-( Or vice versa *sigh* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LT.Smoke Posted December 31, 2010 Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 That one kid in the documentary had his whole life destroyed and lost the ability to do almost everything all because of texting...

Ba-Dunka-Dunk Posted December 31, 2010 Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 Having passengers in your car can also be a distraction. My dad and I got in an accident a couple years ago,he was backing out of our drive way and I was talking to him and he rear ended his sisters car. It was parked and no one was in the car and no one got hurt. I guess this will be a huge eye opener for alot of people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainzPlanetz Posted December 31, 2010 Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 Same thing with some of us with touch screen decks in our cars. Just wait till a red light or something, a song isn't worth a life. Any distraction these days is enough to ruin something. Remote Control FTW!!! ¿ǝɯɐƃ ǝɥʇ Trolls never learn............ All BS aside, If I see one more comment in here that is NOT about the pre-sale, I will start the vacations. And that includes the trolls feeding the trolls.

byers319 Posted December 31, 2010 Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 Alright, time to take the other stand. When you change your cd/radio station/ipod or whatever your using, you look down to change it, and if your on the radio, your looking down for longer since you know what station you want, you look and make sure you get that one. You can say remote or whatever, but you still have to look down to get it. If you think I'm being a dick, go read my first post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JEMT8 Posted December 31, 2010 Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 I hope you guys keep your words. I got in a car accident (non text related) and wasnt wearing my seatbelt and hit my head on the steering wheel and since then vowed to always wear my seat belt. Welll it's been about a month and silly me wears it most of the time but I find myself still not wearing it. Yeah. I'm dumb, I know. formerly known as Jaylor Swift Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ecco Posted December 31, 2010 Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 I hope you guys keep your words.

Welll it's been about a month and silly me wears it most of the time but I find myself still not wearing it. Yeah. I'm dumb, I know. That sounds pretty painful. How fast were you going? And I've always had the habit of putting my seatbelt on, so it's kinda weird reading about people not putting it on. I've seen plenty of accidents over here, minor as well as deadly, but I don't think any that led to injuries were related to texting. Most fender benders are, though.
