Default texting while driving

Almost every day I see it and it seems to be getting much worse:

Time and place for texting while in a car. 85 in traffic is not one of them. Still boils down to distracted drivers, cell phone or not.

I dunno how that kid can live with him self...

Highest death rate in cars will be due to phones this year. Everyday I see multiple people weaving while texting and at least 1 car a day almost run into the medium while texting.
It pisses me off seeing how stupid people are.

Yup, I drive about a hour each way everyday and holy hell! You'd literally be shocked at the amount of shittards that are either on their damned phone, texting, or digging for it and all over the road

When I drive the camaro in to work, I'll pull up alongside and drop a gear and scare the ever loving shit out of them

What I think is more impressive is when you see someone almost crash and then realize you they were doing nothing but trying to drive lol

The amount of stupid in the world is on the rise.
