Girl dies in a car accident while sending text msg

[ManOfWord]

Guilty as charged! I text and update Twitter and post on AFF while doing a number of things, including driving. I am an excellent multi-tasker...............I guess everyone is until........BAM!!!

I'm just not as quick as some others because I also try to watch where I'm going! LD

Then I'll use the handsfree set to talk. I hate being a distracted driver. My life, and my kids lives are more important to me than sending a message.

Tina sent me a VERY long text message while she was driving yesterday!

Speaking of walking and texting, my pastor mentioned Sunday morning (his message was actually titled "Text Messaging"!) that there is a town that has actually installed padding on their street light and utility poles because there have been so many injuries from people walking into poles! I can't remember where it was.
