In an effort to educate people about the dangers of texting and driving, a new citizen journalism of sorts has popped up.  This time it's in the form of catching drivers in the act of texting and driving.  If you were caught on video texting from behind the wheel in 3 lanes of traffic, confronted with the evidence, would you stop?  Here is there website textface.com.  You might be next!!

Still See People Texting and Driving

I still continue to pass people on the highway on a regular basis that are texting and driving.  Just yesterday, I saw a cell phone promienently balanced on the top of the steering wheel in full view, the driver was reading his text message while driving down the highway.  Texting and driving is dangerous!!
