I’ll take that as a complement considering I am over 21.  My wisdom has grown to the point that I am capable of penetrating all potentially unsafe things unscathed while texting messages during traffic.  After the age of 21, one miraculously performs a metamorphoses into another form of matter capable of multitasking and experiencing no distractions to peripheral events while cruising down the road.

Maybe it is just me.  There is nothing more comforting cruising the highway and watching someone text message while driving.  Particularly if they are over 21.

Hey maybe we should expand our business and start computer and network repair here in the Saint Louis and St Charles, MO area while on the road between customers.  After all, time is money and this certainly would put the bottom-line in the positive.

Studies show that 26% of drivers text message while driving.  It is a relief knowing that they are over 21.  Otherwise it would be a mad world out there.  icon wink Missouri Considers Text Messaging Law While Driving
