Seriously people, I stopped driving almost a year ago, but in my 18 years behind the wheel I never ever typed a message while driving. Unlike 52 per cent of drivers worldwide, according to a recent survey.
So is half the world absolutely insane or is this survey—done with just a 2881 drivers sample—wrong? It seems to me like an awfully high number, but knowing that everybody has a phone now, I’m not surprised. If true, changing the law won’t fix this. It seems more like an education matter. And with education I mean, “If you text while driving you may end dead, you idiot.” [PR Newswire]

These sorts of blatantly obvious surveys annoy me. Instead of spending the money on a survey to find out what we already know, how about we spend it on fixing the problem!

Well funnily enough, i was in a carpark today coming out… and i saw 1 car with both the driver AND front passenger BOTH on the phone!
So i came to the conclusion that the driver would have not only had to concentrate on me passing him while talking to someone, but also compete with the passenger’s voice next to him! ffs people are you stupid! what the hell can’t wait till you get the hell out! Even if you’ve just gotten news that your mum has died in a car accident, that will just make you rush to YOUR death as well! bloody hell use your brains!
