Are you looking for traffic or your mother?

Re: Will Texting While Walking Bans Help or Hurt?

What a stupid idea of a ban. I often look at my phone while I'm walking, although I do look up when I'm crossing a street, or a driveway when a car is approaching.

This is all just an attempt to distract from the real problem, the one that's ACTUALLY KILLING PEOPLE.
