    Great clip. That says it all. Texting while driving is already illegal in many places here in the US and soon to be the law for the State of Texas. However, enforcement is another story.

    Let's call it what it is – suicide by text! Powerful deterrent for me!

      At 58 years of age I don't even answer the phone in the car much less text. The fates will get you it you do it long enough.
