"This happened in Peculiar MO where it's legal to text and drive. You have to be 21. " - someone on reddit

WOW, if that is true.

It may sound exaggerating, but it really is an epidemic. I walk down the street near a university every day, and 8 out of 10 cars that drive by have their phones up in one hand, and driving with the other. And like the video shows so well, it may not be you that is the cause...but just the victim. Its scary. Always be alert and watching around you...tho there may be nothing you can do if someone else is 'texting' and driving. My son is 4, and hopefully by the time he start driving, there will be something in place to prevent this careless behavior.

Citizen, your behaviour is being recorded. Do not text and drive!

You think you're crying now? Wait until you see humans in flying cars and we can see just how bad texting and driving with 6 degrees of freedom can get.

Don't text and drive.

I was nearly pushed off a cliff because of some kid texting while driving. He had no idea that he was drifting lanes....

Tip: if you see someone texting and driving, don't hesitate to call the cops. Texting while driving can easily kill people and it is worth stopping them.

I hate her eyebrows.


...at least they were real~Can't stand that plucked 'n painted look ~ Can't stand PSA's! Oh, and you people learn to use yer fuckin' cell phones while yer driving and get the FUCK OUTTA MY WAY!! <(rather see make-up application en-route than the mindless texter!) I keep a bag of old cell phones in the car to throw at people's cars who text and drive and hold up traffic~If everyone did this, we'd need no more intelligence-insulting PSA's, just better insurance

If this crap was aired in england, it'd probably make texting and driving cooler to young people.

I don't see why people think that recording something while driving requires any sort of focused attention. All you have to do is hold the fucking camera.


Holding a cellphone isn't too difficult either, but it's illegal here. Makes you wonder about this whole "law" thing, huh?

Guy filming? Is it just me or is he over reacting like a whining bitch over a minor scrap and skidding across a field.
Close call? Hell yeah... but nothing 'Final Destination' like happened.
Calm the fuck down. You're no help to anyone panicking like a sissy.


Lol.. you must think you're immortal or something - i'm not sure you even realise how dangerous the events in the video were? He's really lucky the car didn't flip at 4 or 5 different times, some serious reactions just about saved the other car from a head on collision at a combined speed of what, 120+ miles per hour(?) and they could have been flipped too, aside from colliding with any cars that were behind the guy filming if they lost control and left their lane (considering how they collided, it seems fairly likely).

I think his reaction was fine. That was some ssseeerrrriously close shit.
