Texting Nearly As Dangerous While Walking Than Driving So much attention has been paid, and rightly so, to distracted driving that we have ignored the fact that distracted walking and crossing can be just as risky,” says David Melton, Liberty Mutual’s managing director of global safety.
The thing about texting and walking, is you are less likely to get someone else killed. I personally don't care if they are going to be so negligent, as to get their self killed while walking. Driving on the other hand is just as dangerous, to everyone around you.
They had allowed texting down here in the cars until earlier this year they banned it. But people still text. I was doing 50 mph and this girl in the mustang was driving fast and still she was texting at night. I drove faster away from her. Crazy! Is it so important to text, and nope it isn't.
It is not just cars, I've seen people making cell phone calls while riding motor bikes ........... now how much more dangerous it is.
