Its easy to speed when you are texting, you’re not watching the road! No wonder this person got so many tickets, and its awful that 50 people had to go to the hospital because they couldn’t be responsible with the lives of so many people while on the job. What poor behavior, to distract one’s self while driving. It IS like drunk driving.

Update: Aiden Quinn was born Georgia Quinn. Sources said he received the three speeding tickets in his private vehicle in the last few years. http://abcnews.go.com/US/story?id=7561561&page=1

Last week I checked my rear view at a stoplight, and noticed the driver behind me texting. As the light changed and I started, I checked again, and he was still dividing his attention between the road (and me) and the device. I decided I didn’t want him behind me, so at 20mph (in a 40 zone) I took my foot off the gas again. He dutifully signaled and changed lanes around me. A few days later I saw someone else driving and texting (I was parked). I just hope we don’t have to spend the years we did with drunk driving before it becomes ‘uncool’.
