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.

YDI. Not only did you choose not to wait, you blamed someone else for your mistake. Go you.

And you actually came on here, expecting sympathy?

Did you pick up your phone to check the message, or did it just startle you?

I get in the car... I make sure my phone's sound is off, take my phone off of the clip, put it away, and don't even bother with it until I am safely parked. That way I can't be startled, can't be bothered, can't be interrupted by any kind of text, message, call. You either checked your phone or had it on so that you could hear it going off. You are at fault. YDI

Don't blame your mom, you are the one that answered the text. Take some responsibility for your actions.

Honestly, you shouldn't be texting while driving anyways. It's sucks that you recked your car but that why you obey the law! YDI. And you should be grateful your still alive. It could've been worse

YDI. She may have texted you, but you're the one who looked and crashed the car, retard.

People don't know when you're driving. They text you, and if you are driving, they're probably hoping you won't be reading their text AS you drive. They can wait. If there's an emergency and you need to check your phone right away, pull over, before you create another emergency by causing a car accident. People can die. That's why the whole #x thing was started. So you can let people know when you're about to drive, which is I guess more convenient for people so they know they'll have to wait a few minutes before receiving a response, but really, its all on you, the driver. You chose whether or not to text and drive.
