I saw that today and thought about posting it.

Hard hitting, as was intended.

That does hit home, as I have plenty of girl pals that are around that age/students and it's the kind of thing some of them would do out of naivety. Would hate to see anything happen to any of them.

It's just everywhere. I've heard several stories this week about kids on Mopeds that think nothing of texting whilst on the move. Can you just imagine it?

That's true. But this could happen anywhere, and it could just be a case of someone losing control out in the countryside and hitting a tree etc.

I'm failing to understand that statement???

The people died because of some stupid girl using a phone while driving.

The parts I nearly went at was the dead baby and a boy asking for his mother and father to wake up, why? because I drive my car with two kids in the back and would hate for them to be left alone because of some twat on a phone!

But it could just as easily be someone with passengers in their car simply losing control, killing all onboard.

Are you missing the point completely? this is in regards to people killing other by using a PHONE while driving!

I see the point perfectly clearly. Passengers in a car would also be classed as other people.

Edited to say - I see what you're saying with regards to my post. What I meant was losing control as a result of texting.

yeh Alan D means texting with a car full of people in country lane and maybe not noticing a bend and ploughing into a tree killing everyone cause you was looking at ya phone not into another car liek the vid.

im guilty of texting while driving ill hold my hands up to that even though i dont have to look at the screen but ill admit to doing it
