I still feel horrible for hurting my baby -and I'm just talking about my pretty yellow Neon.

Yes, there may be fewer stops and no cross traffic, but you are traveling many times faster, requiring much more time and distance to come to a complete stop, or avoid a dangerous situation. Furthermore, the chances for a fatal or serious injury accident are much greater at 70mph than at 30 or 40. It's unfortunate that you're so addicted to text communication that you can't let it go, even when it's impacting your safety, and more importantly the safety of the others in your vehicle, or those sharing the road with you. Yes, you may be an asshole for texting while you drive and potentially injuring yourself, but you'd be a stretched out, goatsed, prolapsed anus if you caused injury to your own children, or another driver and their passengers.

I guess they need more money because there's, obviously, not too many drunk drivers to be fined, so they move to phones :( Any use of phone while driving is fined $100 in Croatia and they consider banning free-hands as well.
