It's a known fact that there can be a lot of distractions that hinder the focus of people in the driver seat. On a busy highway in Texas, a man slammed into the back of an SUV, because he was not paying attention to the road in front of him. Instead, he was busy texting away on his cell phone for about six whole minutes before realizing that he is going to hit the vehicle in front of him. The man in question was driving a bus which is used to transport handicapped individuals. Cameras placed throughout the bus captured the driver as he took out his phone to start texting. You can clearly see from the video how widespread texting and phone calls are being carried out by drivers in control of a public transportation vehicle. So what's the lesson to learn through all of this? Texting and driving don't mix well at all.
