Teen dies after being hit by truck while texting

What is it with the whole texting thing? It's a friggin phone people, ya know you can actually talk on them right? Why not just revert back to Morse code for cryin' out loud! I don't get it!

 

I don't get it either. Ofcourse I don't get it with driving while yapping on the phone, let alone texting. And that includes big truck drivers as well.

 

I just about got hit by a Florilli truck yesterday for that. I was merging out of the rest area and he was coming but a good distance back. Nobody else was around and he just would not move over and almost rearended me before he finally got in the left lane. When he came by me sure enough.... he was texting. I usually control myself but this guy pissed me off so i let him have it on the radio but to no avail he was to ########### to reply or had it off anyway. TN has made it illegal to text while driving but i still see people doing it all the time.

 

In my opinion Text messaging should be against the law PERIOD,No exception's.
Your supposed to be Driving not yaking or pecking on the phone.

 

The article says" witnesses said Alexis Stewert was texting not the driver and she couldnt hear her friends telling her to get out of the way and the driver moved to avoid them. We must read first and comprehend. The article didnt say the driver was texting.

 

Says the girl was texting not driver
