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.

I wouldn't mind seeing phones in all capacities outlawed in cars/bikes, etc. while driving. They could basically do what they did to Louisiana years ago when their drinking age was still 18--threaten to withhold highway funds unless they enforced the federal suggestion.
