You've done it; I've done it.
Texting while driving.
Even I (as an adult) know how distracted I am when I do it...the thought of teens doing it, too, terrifies me, and is why, if I feel I must text, I try to do it only at stoplights. Even then I'm worrying about the guy coming up behind me. But with cars and cell phones coming out with more and more ways to keep you "connected" to friends and family, it's inevitable that horrific accidents like this are bound to happen:

It seems the war on texting is on, but it wouldn't surprise me if this eventually morphs into someone trying to keep tabs on what you do in your own car...entering that data into a database somewhere...and having that data feed through to your insurance company, where, based on your driving habits, they might see cause to drop you like a hot potato.
