More on texting, driving, and walking

This link connects to a Washington Post article from 11/16 that reports on a new study of texting and driving (primarily by teens). It shows a pretty shocking number of people who do this and raises concerns about the high accident rate (worse than drunk driving). There's also a link to a British video about this on YouTube. For another take on this, click on this link to read a scan of an article about people banging into things (telephone poles, walls, etc.) while walking and texting. Apparently, emergency rooms are seeing a big uptake on people with injuries because of these accidents. Ouch!
