"Truck drivers caught texting while driving" article.

I noticed on the Yahoo (or other) story I clicked on earlier, a lot of them fell into the puppy truck category - Penske/U Haul size trucks.

And yeah - second that - why focus on the trucks?

And what annoys me is the difference in fines - $2750 for CDL drivers, and a mere pittance for 4 wheelers.

 

Ditto. Isn't it usually the distracted car driver that causes trucks to go into OH #### mode? Hence causing a crash?

 

And lets not forget the busses!



...this yayhoo, among MANY others.

 

Personally I do not have time to text while driving. I am way to busy keeping up on Facebook and Twitter.

 

You're pretty hip for a social media fanatic with that user name!

 

That would be ##OLD## Not Just any old user name!

 

i'd like to know where you get a 6500 pound SUV. they weren't even that heavy back in the 70's.

 

Meh. Facebook and twitter are old hat. Tumblr has women getting nude because "they are learning to love their body". Lol. That's a hell of a lot more interesting than some douche from high school letting you know her 3rd kid got a B on their math test and a mediocre meatloaf recipe.

 

Did you ever weigh a Ford Excursion? it would weigh in closer to 8,000 pound then 6,500
My Ford Explorer limited weighs in at 5,200 in the real world
