Comments

this was a tradgety

Some commentators have argued for more laws but what we probable need is for people that have some common sense. You’re driving an automobile, you should be focused on that and nothing else. The driver had obviously had been texting while driving many times before, so that leaves fate to answer the question: There are two types of texting drivers- those who have been in an accident and those who are going to be. Which one are you? http://scallywagandvagabond.com/2014/04/courtney-ann-sanford-dies-car-crash-posting-happy-makes/
