    Consider the blue van hitting the guy that was texting while crossing the street. How was that the van drivers fault?

    I had an accident a little over a year and a half ago because of construction on I85. Was i paying attention? Of course. It wasn't my fault an orange construction pylon got into my lane and as i swerved to avoid it, another car got in my lane and slammed on the brakes. Shit happens.

    lol, I understand what you are saying but you are completely oblivious to the point. You see, in that situation it isn't saying its the driver fault at ALL but the person who was J-walking... Get it? severing the point of : "pay attention under all circumstances".

    In other words the point of that part of the video is the boy was what? texting. Did he look both ways? No.
    Was it HIS fault for texting and not PAYING attention yes.

    Get it man? Wasn't trying to hit anything personal with you. The video is not at fault on all drivers. If you watched the whole video (which i think you did) you notice the end said. "pay attention or pay the price", Not fuck you faggots for texting while driving. lol.

    I hope that cleared things up for ya man. If you read my 1st post you noticed i directed it to people thought of paying attention, and i also said to ADD a phone to that is stupid. Hence why i say texting and driving in my eyes is stupid. Just pay attention to the road, same goes for that "guy" if he would of took the basic principle of looking both ways he wouldn't of got fucked.


    EDIT: I'm happy to read that you are apart of the few that don't text and drive. I've been behind too many people driving 30 in a 55 because they are texting.. or getting in my lane because some fuck wants some noodz... Honestly i bet most of the people in here that "text" while driving either say something like "be there in 5" or "wud up". Like wtf if your are going to be there in 5 why the fuck should you send them a message if its that important put a fucking GPS on your car.

    A wise man makes his own decisions, an ignorant man follows public opinion.
