Don't Text and Drive

Using a mobile phone whilst driving is a common, but ultimately unsafe, act (and I speak as someone who was caught driving and talking on my mobile!) I fully appreciate how dangerous it can be just talking, but TEXTING, as Lord Ahmed was doing on Christmas Day 2007, is plainly dangerous and he has quite rightly (in my opinion) been sent to jail. I don't see how anyone can justify such an act...but I believe that it is fairly common!!
