Young Drivers Snapping 'Selfies' At The Wheel

CNN-

Drivers are endlessly creative when it comes to finding dumb things to do while behind the wheel: eating, texting, reading a map, applying makeup.

But technology has now inspired an alarming new trend: drivers taking self-portraits, or "selfies," with their smartphone cameras while in motion.

Idiotic? Maybe so, but these self-portrait artists aren't shy about sharing their photos. Instagram shows more than 3,727 posts under the #drivingselfie hashtag, more than 1,869 for the plural #drivingselfies, and more than 9,700 for #drivingtowork. Some users add the optimistic tag, #Ihopeidontcrash.

I can't believe people are this dumb.

Stick893822d ago

To be perfectly honest, I'm not the least bit shocked people are this dumb -.-

I guess you're right. Self-preservation seems to be at an all-time low these days...

krazykombatant3822d ago

idiots.... in my opinion doing shit like this should get you a ticket.

LonChaneyTV3822d ago (Edited 3822d ago )

the original pictures show people driving a boat and a jet. http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cn...

how do they get pulled over to be given tickets?

redknight803822d ago

hash tag "I hope I don't crash"?! fricking kidding me??!?!

Stats aside, why did CNN use pics from an airplane and on a boat?

ajax173822d ago

That's weird, the picture I used was from this article... I wonder why they would change it.

Speed-Racer3822d ago

That is weird! Another odd observation, assuming they're talking about kids from the US, they all look like they're in the passenger seat!

No fault of yours obviously ajax. I just find it hilarious that they can't back the stats.

I don't see a problem with this as long as they do it responsibly
