Today, my dad took my phone away because I "had to be texting while driving in order to wreck my car." I was too ashamed to tell him that a huge bug flew into my face causing me to veer off the road and into a brick mailbox. FML

Today, while driving to a client's home, I received a text. Since I loathe those who text and drive, I pulled into a convenience store's parking lot. While I was texting, a car sped into the lot, rear-ending my car. FML

Today, I was driving home and got a phone call from my mom. She called to tell me that there was a cop at the bottom of our hill, and to be careful. I got a ticket for talking on my cell phone while driving. FML

Today, my mom once again yelled at me for "driving erratically." She texts while driving 70 miles per hour on the highway, but apparently driving through a yellow light is "reckless." FML

Today, I was in a car accident. When I came home, I told my mom. She just got angry with me, blamed me for it, and didn't even ask if I was OK. FML

Hey lady!
Today, I pulled up next to a lady who was trying to text, smoke, and drive. My brother said that she was probably going to cause an accident. He was right. At the next light, she hit us. She then yelled that I purposely caused the accident because, "that's how teenagers are." FML

Ironic, but still- you were the one still checking your phone. Next time just put it in "Do Not Disturb" mode.

YDI. You shouldn't have looked at the text in the first place! Get a Bluetooth and use it for calls to be safe. On some phones you can even make texts and have it read you new texts. But in no situation is it ok to look at your phone or read texts while you're driving! If you can't use a Bluetooth then pull over to touch your phone. Better safe than sorry.

If its not illegal to be texting/talking on your phone while driving where you are yet, it should be. If it turns out you didn't read the text and it was just the noise from your phone that distracted you then you should have known better and put it on silent ahead of time so all your attention would be on the road. Wrecking your car was lucky, someone could have gotten hurt or killed.

where i am, its illegal for anyone under age 21 to be texting or talking on the phone while the car is turned on. its a $250+ ticket

Why only under 21s? I always see old people or business women in expensive cars with a phone to their ear whilst driving. One had a cigarette in her other hand.

im not sure why. maybe they think that by the time youre 21, the average driver had been driving for 5 years and is exprienced enough to be trusted not to look at the phone while driving. though i do see a lot of people of all ages being stupid enough to ne n their phones while driving. i saw a middle aged woman watching a movie on her phone while driving the other day.

Your mum isn't the one to blame for this, YOU checked your phone.

YDI for checking your phone

Should've waited to check your text.

You didn't wreck your car because your mom texted you. You wrecked your car because you checked it. Seriously, why couldn't you just wait til you parked? You're lucky that this is the only thing that happened!

Just because someone texts you, you don't have to answer it immediately.

Well, I guess you now finally understand WHY your mum was trying to warn you not to use your bloody phone while you're driving. I hope your car's totaled, because you really shouldn't be on the road until you learn your damn lesson. No text in the world is more important than the lives of everyone on and next to the road.
