By now we all know that texting and driving is dangerous business — heck, even texting while walking has its pitfalls. But don't take our word for it: One 21-year-old Texas driver wound up typing out how dangerous it is to text while driving... right before crashing his truck into a ravine. Chance Bothe was making a 30-mile drive back to his hometown of Ganado when the accident occurred. During the trip, he was having an argument with his friend via text message. Mere moments before crashing his pickup, Bothe texted, "I need to quit texting, because I could die in a car accident." Bothe survived the incident, but not without injury. All told, he suffered an ankle fracture, a punctured lung, facial fractures, and a "severe skull fracture."

On my way home from work today I saw this chick texting, smoking and driving at the same time. Just happened to notice as I my car is much higher up than hers...I felt scared for her.
