Texting 'greatest driving risk'

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7621644.stm

Fortunately, they don't mention any statistics for texting while riding
down the autoroute at 100mph, so that's obviously perfectly safe.

 

I don't text while driving, but I know a few who do and almost without
exception they text by feel [1] apart from the very odd glance at the
handset, which probably makes them no more of a hazard than the
thousands of drivers who tune their radios on the move every day. I've
not noticed the texters of my acquaintance being dangerous, unlike that
twat on the Beeb this morning who was all over the road.

[1] Indeed, I stand in awe of those who text lightning-fast without
apparently looking at the phone at all. It's a skill I never acquired,
being not that interested in texting at all.

It's sad. No doubt about it.
