4 Years Jail for Speeding Texter who Killed

Please read this article, then rethink your actions if you text whilst driving, or speed in a 30mph area! Texting might seem harmless to you - you can do it with your eyes closed and you can do it fast, so where’s the problem doing it when you’re driving? And 30mph feels so SLOW! In fact, it feels like a crawl, doesn’t it? Well, the young lady in this report must have held all these beliefs - she’d already been caught 3 times for speeding before this happened! And she clearly believed so much in her multi-tasking skills, she believed she could drive, 50% above the speed limit, and text at the same time! Well now she has 4 years to think about these beliefs (although she’ll most likely be out in 2, but that’s still an awfully long time for her 4 year old daughter!), and to consider what her life will be like in the future, blighted as it has now become through such thoughtless actions. Perhaps she could consider helping others to learn from her mistakes and so give back to road safety?
