Man texts, 'I need to quit texting,' before driving into ravine

digitallife : Chance Bothe typed out a text message while driving down a familiar Texas road. It was a simple "b right there," but it changed the 21-year-old man's life. While sending it, he veered off the road and into a ravine. Instead of visiting his pal, the young man wound up in a hospital, battling for his life. (Culture, Phones)

Don't text when you're on a road that has turns.
Don't text when there's other cars around you.
Don't text when you know a few hundred feet there's a stop light.
Don't text when you're going over 65mph.
Don't stare at your phone screen for more than 2 seconds while driving.
Use the voice commands that your phone has to type the text for you.

It's obvious people aren't going to listen to that whole "don't text and drive" campaign. So, you just gotta work with them, give them better instructions in how to do it and not do it~
