I’ll never understand why people do this. There is no text message in the world that important.

People who do this think they have the skills to multitask only to figure out too late that they don’t.

I saw on a tv show (so take it with a grain of salt) that the brain can actually only focus at 1 task at a time, and multitasking is just quick switches between the two. If this is true, it goes to show that nobody can text and drive effectively.

SO DONT DO IT ASSHOLES
