Tough question. Education and persecution/fines seems to be the norm

How clever is this idea

I could pass that test

Gotta love selective editing tho, would like to see the raw footage & just how many passed vs failed to see just "how hard" it is.

Those who txt while driving are divided into two groups - those who are so good at txting that they don't need to look at the phone, and those who are so good at driving, they don't need to look at the road...

Easy peasy lemon squeezy... just ask Suri to do it. Great idea and whilst they're waiting for their turn, they should hang out on the corners

I saw a woman try to text, while driving around the local New World supermarket car park. The driver of the second car she hit WAS a tad upset ...

The owners of the 1st and 3rd cars were not happy either.

It was so much easier before these fucking smart phones came in. Give me a phone with big chunky buttons that physically "click" when pressed I said but Noooooooo!

What a failure, the bald guy wasn't even wearing a seatbelt on several occasions, you don't think this was a Hollywood type setup situation

Also the poor student was having to text when and what he chose, not when and what they chose.

I'm a lousy texter so I must be in the second group that don't need to watch the road

Actually it's easy down here ... on a busy day there's only a half dozen OTHER cars on the road anyway ...
