"Think again, and again, about sending that text"

Texting and driving is definitely a problem in this country, especially among the youth. We know that we shouldn't do it yet sometimes the urge is there to just peek at that cellphone while driving. If that person texting and driving gets into an accident then yes, it is their fault and they should take full responsibility for their reckless driving and endangerment but the person who sent the text should not be held liable. How do they know that the person they just sent a message to is operating a vehicle? They don't unless the driver directly tells them, "HEY I AM DRIVING RIGHT NOW SO I'LL TEXT YOU LATER" which of course is the right thing to do as the driver but doesn't always happen. An individual should not be held accountable for sending a text message to another individual while they are driving. And that is the final ruling.
