Texting While Driving With Your Knees

Sending text messages while travelling at excessive speed and driving with his knees - this gained a 21-year-old Newfoundland man three months in jail and a three year driving suspension.  The sentence was delivered yesterday.  This must be one of the more bizarre texting while driving incidents I have heard of.  Two young women passengers suffered serious injuries as a result of this conduct, which exhibited extreme disregard for human safety.

I wonder what message this young menace from Spaniard's Bay, Conception Bay, found so compelling to get out while speeding and driving with his knees?  Almost certainly the message was pathetically silly and inane.

At age 58 I am not about to be tempted to take up texting while driving, but now is a good time to remind our kids that texting while driving is not only against the law, it can ruin lives.
