bilby "In recent years, cell phones have been added to the list of potential motorist distractions. Although the use of hands-free cell phone devices can ameliorate the problem of drivers' using such devices to make or receive phone calls in moving automobiles (and some states have already passed laws banning use of non-hands-free cell phones by drivers), texting remains a problem - it's a process that inherently takes both a motorist's mental focus and his hands away from controlling his vehicle. The word intexticated has been coined to describe 'people (mostly teenagers) who drive while texting on their cellphones,' and the photographs displayed above purportedly illustrate the results of an accident caused by just such an intexticated teen."
