Texting While Driving Stories, Deaths, Facts - Decide To Drive

Zip Code City State

I was me.

Mine is a little different. I'm going to Narc on myself. I was driving home on the Chgo expressway system. It was late (9pm) so the roads were moving fast. A friend texted me and often if it don't text back they keep doing it over and over again. I pulled off, because fortunately I could. But it would be really nice if I could press an I AM DRIVING button on my phone (like the red button that turns my ringer off for a call in a meeting). Our phones are ever present now, we should do somethin

Killed mother while texting and driving

Everytime I turn on the tv or news I hear a message about texting and driving. I am so thankful that people have raised awareness about the dangers of texting and driving. Unfortunately, when I was 16 I was not aware. I was driving across the country with my mother. When we got into our home state, New Mexico, we crashed. She was reading a book and didnt see me texting and driving, my 3 year old little sister was in the back. Our car flipped 8 times. My mother did not survive the crash.

Dangerously Texting and Driving

Since texting/handling a cell phone is illegal in Chicago, my brother decides he'd put his phone down on his lap while driving. He's looking down and texting while going 60 mph on a local street and never saw the car stopped in front of him at a light. Luckily, it was mostly bumper damage for the other car but his car was wrecked, and a cop saw what had happened and ticketed him.

I was waiting at a turn signal behind about 10 cars; the arrow turned green and the cars in the front started moving, but the back of the line (me) was still stationary. I was rear ended by a person that I think was looking at the cars in the front of the line instead of those not yet moving.

Never Drive Under Stress

So my mum and dad were fighting about something or other, just as my dad and I were supposed to be somewhere. As we were driving, my dad was ranting and screaming about this as I did my best to ignore him, so neither of us noticed the cab that he rear-ended. We were in a pick-up, so the tiny cab had significant damages, but the driver was not injured.

The 19yo driver then got out of his parent's newly damaged car, wearing bedroom slippers. He stated that he had spilled his drink. The impact was enough to break his front axel. That driver actually asked me if I wanted to wait for the police inside of the Jamba Juice shop. I was told the ne

Cosmopolitan, a fashionable date killer.

I was driving back from farmville with a 90 day driving permit, with a girl I had taken shopping. She had bought many things, including a Cosmo magazine, which dropped under my feet. I reached for it, in high oncoming and going traffic. I blacked out after veering off to the right and over correcting; I woke up for only a second to see us rolling down a hill back toward the road. I was so grateful that I didnt involve anyone else with my toyota 4-runner, which would have pummeled a family van

Being a Vigilant Driver

When I am sitting in my car at a red light, I make it a habit of identifying drivers that are reading their phones or texting while in their cars. You can usually identify them because they keep looking down at their laps. I also make it a habit of letting them drive past me and I then get behind them.

In the left lane there is a green arrow that indicates you are good to go. All the incoming traffic coming towards me had stopped except for one lane. This large vehicle came barreling down the lane and nearly clipped the tail of our car and the person did not brake till they were halfway down the block. This inattention could have been fatal.

SUV over Corvette

Traveling down Talcott to Cumberland I get a red light. Stop and waiting for the light to change. Look into my rear view mirror and all I see is a monster SUV coming and coming and not applying the brakes - was unable to move - all I could do was cross my fingers and lay on my horn. Amazingly she jerked her head up and slammed the brakes - I could just about see the under carriage of her vehicle. When the light turned green I was looking forward to wishing her a good day, but she turned.

Although I try and stay out of other drivers blinds spots, it is nearly impossible when passing and the phone keeps other drivers from performing a simple manuver (lane change)safely.

We were on the NJ Turnpike behind a driver texting. There were young people in the car - the car was full. We pulled into a rest stop and saw this same vehicle and its occupants. Each of them was texting - walking and texting. Endlessly. Can't people put away the cell phones/computers/hand-helds, etc., etc., while driving and do they have to text ALL THE TIME?! My concern is for the innocent victims of this foolishness! Some very stiff fines for this activity may make a difference!

She "drove" at least 3/4 of a mile this way and never touched the steering wheel. Look ma, no hands!

Driver on phone runs stoplight

I entered the crosswalk in front a car that had stopped in the outer (curb) lane for a red light. I was pushing my shopping cart eastward across Lyndale. As I reached the inner lane, I noticed an SUV approaching from the north. He was going at least 30 mph and didn't notice me or the stopped car in the outer lane. Realizing that he was going to run the light, I instinctively drew back my cart. As he shot by I saw him talking on the cellphone. I wish I'd shoved the cart into his path.

Just in general, people on cell phones tailgate so they don't have to pay attention. They let the other driver do it for them, and track their movements. This is very annoying and sometimes dangerous. I usually slowly decrease my MPH, so that they finally notice and then pass me.

Driver was in a convertible bug, with both thumbs on an iphone, at the top of the steering wheel.

Senior Driving Course

I had JUST finished an internet AARP driving course segment on Distracted Driving. We were rushing to a social event, and my wife asked what I had learned. 1. Drive while calm; 2, maintain safe distance from other cars; 3, set mirrors beforehand; remember to use your turn signals. I told my wife I had just forgotten to do all these and all the others in less than four minutes after turning off the computer. HeLLO! Why did I take this course????

Leaving the airport, the driver in front of me was on a handheld cell phone, with what appeared to be a sandwich in the other hand.

Actually, I was expecting a very urgent email. I heard the alert on my phone, looked down for just a second and...I hit the back of the car in front of me. I slammed on the breaks in time to only aggressively tap the rear of the car. THe driver was very nice and understanding. He checked his car. There was no damage to the car, him or me-Thank goodness. So, we drove off. However, my customized license plate broke off. I guess it's more important that I didn't break anything else.

Yesterday Versus Today

20 years ago, when children sat in the front seat and cried, we could reach a toy or bottle and hand it to them without looking. Now that the kids have to sit in the back seat and SCREAM when they can't see you, we are forced to look to the back seat to check on them. Someone needs to figure out what is wrong with that. I see so many people driving along and looking to the back seat who wouldn't have to, if the kid could be seen and reached. Children should be in front or left home. Perio

Rear ended by guy looking out the window

I was sitting at a red light and noticed in my rear view mirror this car coming up behind me, fairly quickly. I could tell that he wasn't looking ahead, but over his shoulder, and subsequently rear ended me. He actually told me that he was looking over his shoulder into the back seat to see what was rattling around. No one was injured in the accident, but I'm sure it certainly helped him not to go investigating what's rattling around in the back seat while driving down the road.

The girlfriends fault?

Riding my bike through a controlled intersection, made eye contact with a driver on my right and all was well, then he hits the gas and turns in front of me, misses my front wheel by inches. He realizes he almost nailed me, stops, rolls down his window, holds up his cell phone and says "sorry dude, my girlfriend was texting me"......Guess it was her fault??

Multi-tasking Taxi Driver

Grabbed a cab to catch a last-minute movie..asked the cab if he took a credit card and as he said yes, he started to type on his laptop and log in to his credit card capabilty program...all while driving. I was about to say something, but thought he was done. But to my suprise, 10 seconds later he began searching for NPR on his laptop and was hooking up the cord to his car so it would go through the speakers...frightening.

Talking on cell and driving

Three people were driving toward the mall. The driver, was talking on cell phone and probably also being distracted by the others in the car. She cut across 3 lanes of traffic to turn into the mall. Right in front of me and another car. She didn't even notice we were there. Both of us hit our brakes. Fortunately both of us were paying attention. It would have been very easy for all of us to end up in an accident though.

What were you doing?

What distraction caused this driver to speed and crash into my brother's stopped car, causing him severe trauma. What could have been so important to cause injury so severe that he is still in the hospital 5 days later? Imagine the terror I felt when he couldn't lift his arms to even scratch his nose for 48 hrs. Was the distraction worth almost ruining someone's life forever?!!! Shame on you!

I was sitting at a very busy intersection at a red light watching the other drivers go by. A trucker (trucking company to remain nameless) was busily staring down at his cell phone in hand while trying to beat the yellow light heading southbound on Harlem! Danger!

Deck of cards

A pick up truck had 10 particle boards stacked in the back of his truck bed with the door open, not secured. As he made a left turn up a small hill, they fell out, like a deck of cards, all over the street. I knew something would happen and we were following several car lengths directly behind him luckily. If we had driven closer behind, a board may hit our windshield, probably not setting off the airbags, hitting glass first instead of metal. It was a great example to my teenager in the car. Go

Don't Talk & Drive!

I was driving in the center lane and on my right was an older man talking to his wife obviously having an argument as I quickly glanced over. As I started to edge past him all of a sudden with no signal, he pulled quickly into my lane almost causing a wreck, due to either his anger or just poor driving habits.

Talking on speakerphone

Thinking that using the hands-free speakerphone made talking on my cell ok, I was chatting away and driving a route I knew by heart, when i suddenly found myself in the wrong lane of a highway - one that was exit-only! I didn't do what some might - veer back into the heavily traveled lane I wanted - but I exited, hung up, and got back on the highway. I hadn't realized until then how distracting a cell-phone call could actually be - but I definitely was not 'present' as a driver.

Distracted Picking Causes Car Hitting

While driving on 294 north, the traffic was moving slowly. I glanced to the right and saw a man picking his nose. Now, this wasn't just any picking...this was major digging. Well, all of a sudden the traffic came to a quick halt and the booger picker caused a major crash.

Pedestrians run over by texting Mom

A retired couple in our community walks everyday down a residential road for exercise. Last week, a texting Mom in an SUV crossed over the center line and ran them down from behind. Thankfully, both will survive, but with substantial injuries. The driver's infant was tossed out of her car seat as well. Both families are quite devastated and all of it was completely avoidable. Put the phones down and drive!

Texting While Driving

While I was walking across Dickens Avenue (inside the pedestrian markings), a SUV failed to stop at the intersection. She missed hitting me by a yard. I screamed and she slammed on her breaks, stopping in the intersection. I walked up to her SUV as she was hiding her telephone. She had been texting a message, evidently forgetting that she was driving her SUV. She said a brisk "sorry" and drove off.

Driving through a parking lot

while driving thru a BUSY congested parking lot at the McD's/Weiss Plaza, with cars trying to pull in and out of parking spots, I noted 3 diff drivers talking on their hand held cell phones, not paying attention to pedestrians or cars. Politely gesturing to them to draw their attention to what they were doing did no good at all, with one sticking her tongue out at me.

Driving While Stupid

I am not reporting an incident. Rather, I would like to comment on this process. As an Orthopaedic surgeon I see patients involved in MVA's daily. These range from the bumped and bruised to the severely injured and maimed. One thing that they all have in common is that they were not to blame. It's always the other guy. The other common factor is that they were all doing something stupid. Speeding, especially through yellow or red lights and in parking lots, drinking and, yes, even texting.
