You are driving along, thinking about the day ahead of you. Nothing special.
And your cell phone buzzes that unique sound that lets you know that you just got a text message. You carefully bring it out and check the message while you are driving at the posted speed limit.
It is from someone whom you were hoping would get in touch with you, so you answer back and they reply. Pretty soon you are texting away and not realising that the traffic is getting thicker.
BOOM! You just sideswiped somebody!
You were paying more attention to your texting then you were your surroundings.
What are you going to tell the police?
What are you going to tell your teenaged children?????
