And I have to say, you have show a far higher level of diplomacy than I think I could muster towards the other person involved.

I simply cannot fathom anyone who does anything else when driving other than drive. EVER.

I feel sorry for your friend and admire your sense of compassion.
Things like this happen and I’ve seen more than one posts on such events, yours shows such high level of empathy I’ve never met before.
Thank you again for a post that reminded me to think more often to true human values.

I am so sorry. A lesson to all of us to keep our attention on the road, and not on our cellphones.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your friend’s family.

(http://www.nytimes.com/2008/07/09/opinion/09dowd.html?hp).

What a tragic waste.

That should have never happened to your friend.

So many young people are addicted to their phones; I think that new drivers, especially, should face a ban from driving if caught using a mobile phone with or without hands free and double the ban for texting whilst driving.
If we don’t deal with this problem now many more people will lose loved ones senselessly.
Whatever happens your friends parents lives will never be the same – so sad.

We should not let technology rule us and its there to help and not ruin us. A small mistake has actually changed lives of many.

I second what Holly said.

As a relatively young person (I’m 25) I have lost 4 friends to accidents related to texting and driving. I’ve lost only 1 to drinking & driving (which is just as serious, but I think the texting thing feels safe for some reason). Everyone needs to understand that driving is a privilage, not a right and that when you get behind the wheel you are responsible for not only your life, but the lives of everyone you encounter.

Parents: PLEASE take away your kids phones and cars if you or anyone else ever sees them texting while driving.

I’m linking back to this on my blog too… we ALL need to be reminded (no matter how old we are or how long we’ve been driving) that one second of lost attention can cause a world of pain and hurt not just for us, but for others.
