Hope it does the trick. Though, so many people will inevitibly think they're above such possibility.

I must admit, I've veered. And stopped. :)

I saw this on the news today, and sadly, my first reaction was "Is this a scene from the new Final Destination movie?"

Seems like people are always thinking "Well if it's so dangerous, why don't we hear about it causing more accidents?" which leads to thinking it will never happen to them. Sometimes I wish I had more sympathy for the people who get themselves hurt doing stupid things like that, but I'd rather feel bad for the other people they hurt.

God texting while driving.... so scary. Shit. So many studies have shown that it's so much worse than being totally wasted.

Texting driver in 28km pursuit

A YOUNG motorist had a simple answer when police asked why he didn't pull over earlier during a 28km pursuit.

The 22-year-old said hadn't noticed the marked police cruiser following him because he was busy texting on his mobile phone, police say.

Officers had first noticed the man when he shot past them on the Eastlink Freeway in southwest Melbourne at a speed over 130km/h.

The 1994 Honda sedan didn't stop but kept driving south from Mulgrave to Frankston.

Leading Senior Constable Steve McIlroy said drivers needed to understand that texting while driving could have "catastrophic" results.

"It was lucky on this occasion that the driver was eventually intercepted safely," he said.

The driver had his car impounded for 48 hours and is expected to be charged on summons for various traffic offences.

Or something.
