texting while driving

[threeplusfire]

I sort of thought this whole texting while driving thing was some kind of cracky urban legend, like razor blades in apples at Halloween. Until some pretty boy in a BMW station wagon almost plowed into me this afternoon getting on the highway. He was merrily texting away on his iPhone.

Texting.
While driving.
While merging onto the highway on the ramp.

Seriously. What the fuck? Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh.

Here in California this time last year, a train operator was texting while driving and caused a devestating crash that killed a lot of people.

I barely understand how texting while driving is physically possible, let alone why a person with more than two brain cells would even entertain the idea.
