everybody does stupid things at least once in their lifetime.

true but it's hard to feel sorry for someone when they put alot of other people at risk

what if she killed the driver of the truck or someone else on the road?

Hurricane brought this to our attention so we do not make the same mistake.

I for one, think this a noble gesture and commend his actions.

i never text or even answer my phone when i drive. ever

i make it a point to give people the finger while they're on the phone driving, especially when they're driving like a dildo

I really dont share that view on this issue with you.  That "if i do it, oh well"  or "i never call or text while driving" well, bully for you.  it seems more like you share those statements as a self homage then to actually argue this point.  should your children pay the ultimate price for a silly mistake?  no.

If I kill my kids because of a mistake that I could have avoided, yes, it's my fault.  Has nothing to do with "oh well".  If it was my fault because I could have avoided it, it was my fault.  No excuses.  The girl did not have to text while driving.  It was not a silly mistake.

When driving alone, I do text when I drive, but only at stops.  But if I do end up killing myself, or someone else, I don't expect my grieving family to say it was a silly mistake.  I would want them to say it was my fault if it was an avoidable fault.

When my kids are with me, no texting at all.  Phone rings or need to make a call, my oldest makes or takes the call.  Likewise when my wife is with me.

There is no excuse if it's avoidable.

so are you really justifying all the "hahah stupid bitch"?

Not the haha part.  Stupid bitch part, yes.  Call me stupid for texting while not pulling over too.  You have the right to finger me. 

Hand's free,  phone on the side on caddy, bluetooth, conversation playing on my car speakers, so yeah, not quite in my face or on my ear.

Texting while driving 80mp/h is one of the stupidest things I've ever heard of. At that speed even a slight adjustment to the steering wheel can send you places you don't want to be.

I've been driving behind dumb women texting (never seen a male driving and texting) many times and they're usually driving around 10mp/h under the speed limit and zig-zagging like crazy.


(I only text at stop lights, and I never take calls)

You mean texting in the cinéma? I hate it when somebody uses their phone during the movies.

She was texting her parents as well.  They are as much to blame for her death.  I don't feel sorry for them.  They should have told her to pull over if she needed to update them.

Anybody that knew she was driving and kept texting her back is partially to blame. But for fucks sakes, texting and facebooking at 80 mph is not a silly mistake. Thats as dumb as it gets. Especially since it wasn't one quick update text. It was a text every 90 fucking seconds. Better she go alone than take one or more with her eleven.
I do stupid shit all the time, but when I only have a chance of hurting myself. Not others.

As a parent, I sympathize with the girl's parents. 
No parent should have to bury their child.

On the other hand, as a parent, you have 18 years (or near enough) to teach your kids "This can get you in trouble, pay attention to what you're doing. THIS can get you killed, don't do it. And this can just ruin your life forever, think about it carefully before getting anywhere near it"

If you neglect to teach your children such essential things, you (as a parent) fail at life. 
You are awarded no points, and your DNA is removed from the gene pool, buh-bye.

Accidents happen.
Willful, negligent stupidity is generally self-inflicted.

The knowledge to not be on facebook whilst driving at 80mph isn't something that's passed down by parents like mortgage advice, it's a basic common sense survival shit like don't jump off a cliff, animals even know that. I don't think the parents are to blame, you can tell your kid something 100 times but they'll still do it. Unfortunately she chose to ignore the "don't distract yourself whilst driving 80mph" rather than ignore something like "don't drink too much red bull".
