Sorry to hear that Cecil. I guess you are lucky it wasn't worse 
considering the speed people think they can drive and still use their 
phones for texting.
Distracted driving is epidemic and it makes me sick to see it. Its a 
little different out here in the country where you can drive for miles 
without seeing another vehicle.
But in the city? I need 110% of my attention on driving. The phone stays 
in my pocket. There are big fines for distracted driving here but it 
hasn't helped much.
