Why Isn't There A Better Way to Text While Driving?
It's deadly. It's irresponsible. And we've all done it. Before you commute home think about this: Why isn't there a better solution to texting while driving.
Last night in Los Angeles, celebrity plastic surgeon Dr. Frank Ryan drove his car over a cliff while sending a text to Twitter about his his border collie. (Quite possibly this tweet.)
Dr. Ryan's death is a shame—mitigated only by the fact that he didn't hurt anyone else. (His dog Jill survived the accident, even.) But it's impossible not to feel a bit of schadenfreude at his self-inflicted death while doing something so trivial. "Darwin Award!" we chuckle. But we've all done it at times—or something equally as distracting while driving.
