DWT: Driving While Texting

Yes, this will most likely be added to the many things you can be prosecuted for in the State of Maryland. While it sounds stupid, to text someone using your cell while driving, it is most likely that all of us have done, even if it was only once. Every time you do it, a feeling of stupidity overwhelms you and the following races through your mind:

  • should I wait until the next red light?
  • why are the buttons so close together? Now I have to delete everything!
  • can I react quickly enough if the car in front of me serves?
  • if I look up after hitting the “space” bar, will I be greeted with the rear bumper of a Ford pickup?

Yes, stupid indeed. I say ban it, and talking on the phone without a headset as well. Its bad enough we have to deal with virtual people in the car when we drive, but to take both hands off the wheel, its asking a little too much, or is it?
