More Dangerous Than Drunk Driving? WHAT?!

Studies across the country are being conducted to address the growing problem of distracted drivers that are texting or talking on the phone while driving. They are recently finding evidence proving that this growing problem is even more dangerous than driving drunk!!!
The Today Show and NBC news worked together to do a live TV broadcast in Washington D.C.

This report showed not only the effects of using a phone while driving a car, train, bus, etc., but also reported an interview with the victims of a "texting while driving" fatal car crash. When the interviewer spoke with the widow of one of the victims, she shared her feelings and emotions left with her after the crash. In this video, she fights up the courage to express her opinion of the killer as selfish and irresponsible. Even the killer said: "When I left that morning, it was definitely not my intention to hurt or harm anyone". No one wishes to purposely kill someone this way, but the minute you pick up your phone while you're driving, you are immediately putting other people's lives at risk.
