REGARDING:
“Nobodys perfect people mess up. Sometimes things like this is a wake up call. Tell me you never texted and drove before. ”
Okay. I have NEVER texted and driven. I don’t kill people just for fun or to pass on a message which isn’t important enough to pull over to send.
Since you apparently have and do text while driving, please STOP DOING THAT. You may kill someone and then just say, “Well, their luck just ran out.”

Pure Genius!!!!
The good book says the meek will inherent the Earth. Don’t think this situation applies…..
Take it easy on the old man. Nobodys perfect people mess up. Sometimes things like this is a wake up call. Tell me you never texted and drove before. You could have killed a family too. Everybodys luck runs out.
UHG Its people like this that makes it hard for people who need meds not be able to get them….
Oh that’s typical. Lets say if he had a head on wreck he would’ve killed a family. Mr benauer would’ve lived and just received a bump to his head and continued to make excuses. I’m glad this junkie was caught before he ruined someone elses lives besides his own.
Heres your sign…
