Well, just hang and walk, for that matter-

as I see you closing in on me down a long hallway with your head cocked down, I step aside and stop, staring right at you, and watch you recede into oblivion.

He works for fed ex as a courier and is on the road all day. Every day a new hair raising story of stupid and dangerous road behavior, oftentimes multiple stories. It's pretty frightening the things he sees...

Such ignorance on this subject..
Texting while driving is 6 times less attentive than drunk driving..Drunks often keep their eyes always on the highway...Texters often take their eyes off of the highway...using computers while driving is insane.. Why do we have to be in constant contact..So many stories on not paying attention and killing someone who is..very very frightening...

Is this really an allegory about safe vs. sorry, or are we actually discussing texting drivers?

BTW a friend got a $125 ticket for driving in Chicago with the phone stuck to his face.
