It's no secret that texting while driving has become an epidemic in this country. I mean, I can't be the only who gets pissed off when I'm behind someone and they're either driving insanely slow or swerving, and then when you pass them, they're on their phones texting someone. That pisses me off beyond all belief! When they say that texting while driving is the new drunk driving, they are not kidding! It's just as dangerous. So, put the phone down people! It can wait until you make a stop somewhere. What you're doing is dangerous and you're endangering your life as well as the life of others. The same goes with drinking and driving. I've seen many friends get seriously hurt because of both.
That being said, texting while driving is nothing compared to what this Michigan man did. Apparently, he was killed in a car crash because he was distracted by watching porn and masturbating instead of watching the road, according to Michigan State Police. 58-year-old, Clifford Ray Jones was "punching the dolphin" on Detroit's Interstate 75 early Sunday morning when the skin-flick distraction on his smartphone caused him to roll out of control. He wasn't wearing a seatbelt and was ejected from the 1996 Toyota's sunroof.
Police found the road-masturbator face down in the dirt without any pants on at the the scene of the crash at around 3 a.m. Michigan State Police lieutenant Mike Shaw said that porn-induced crash was one of the most bizarre things he had ever heard of. He said, "We see people putting on makeup, we see people doing different things as far as hygiene, as far as reading books, it's almost to the fact there's so much technology out there a lot of people are paying more attention to what they're doing other than driving their cars."
We need to stop this, people! Either these phone creators have to find a away to disable the phone when it enters a moving vehicle or these car companies need to create a driverless car that drives itself. As I said earlier, being distracted on the road doesn't only put your life in danger, but it also endangers the lives of people around you. I'm guilty of it too. If my wife is watching a movie on her phone when we're on a long drive, I have a tendency to look, but I've stopped because I realized that I'm not as alert to the road as I should be and I'm putting everyone around me in serious DANGER! Okay, that's my public service announcement for this week. Don't text and drive! Don't watch movies and drive! And most of all, don't punch the dolphin and drive!
