my hot take is texting while driving should have criminal penalties—much like other forms of DUI

Idk why you’re being downvoted. ur right. Distracted driving is so dangerous and it KILLS PEOPLE. I got hit by a guy who was texting&driving. I was going 20mph and he was going 15 MAX. My airbags blew, both cars totaled. I walked away with a concussion, severe whiplash in my back, CHEMICAL BURNS, scratches and bruises all over. My back is still fucked up over a year later. you are not in a fuckin go kart. You’re in a vehicle that weighs 1-2 TONS. Driving should not be taken as lightly as it is

no bc i refuse to get in the car with people that do this or are under the influence. i don’t even get myself gas a mile down the street if i’m high by myself let alone go somewhere with others in the car with me???? it’s dangerous, absolutely not.
