Phone Message Sending Teen

That is next to some of the grossest irresponsible things that the typical teen does and I am sure that for the rest of his life he will be thinking - 'I am so stupid - so stupid'. Now, mind you I have witnessed this kind of thing first hand by what should be responsible adults as well. Do they need to actually hit someone before they get the message of how unsafe the practise iis for all parties?

This just reinforces the unspoken rule -- you cannot do *anything* while driving, except drive! Don't read, don't dial on your phone, don't text, don't paint your fingernails or apply mascara, don't select your next CD, etc. Just drive. Period.
