text: Let's say you have an accident while sending a text. The other person may have been hurt or perhaps killed. You are at fault. If the accident resulted in death, you're going to face jail time because that's considered manslaughter. If you just hit them, you're paying for their vehicle and medical bill, not to mention your insurance rate is going to skyrocket. Is all of that worth sending a quick text? Risking the lives of the men, women, and children around you and in your community?
