Bubba knows her stuff when it comes to booze n drugs

I see people texting and driving all the time. Drinking and driving is less noticeable but I've definitely seen it before especially in my region of my county.

texting while driving is a far more conscious decision to make because when you're drunk, you're uh, drunk, and probably can't make the right call quite as easily

Why does it have to be a decision over which is worse? They're both loving stupid as hell and anyone who does either should be ashamed. That said I've done both before to varying degrees. #badboy

And here's a compilation of Northern Irish videos, which are some of the best. Australian ones are good too.

I would say that driving while texting, or otherwise distracting yourself, is the worst, solely because an accident caused in that moment is due to a conscious decision to neglect your attention of the road.

With drink driving it's a case of you being too inebriated to pay attention, or respond accurately.
But, admittedely while you aren't making the conscious decision in that moment to neglect your driving, you did make the decision to get drunk and get in a car in the first place.
All drunk people were sober to start off, so they're not void of responsibility.


And as Otis pointed out, they're both as bad as each other. Neither one is acceptable, and the fact that one might be more dangerous than the other does not make it any more acceptable to do the less dangerous one.


Personally I prefer texting and driving. It's a lot more thrilling to do.

Yeah, it's thrilling whenever you run the risk of getting into a car crash and dying.
My mom only texts whenever she's at a stop light, and she asks me to tell her when the light is green.

That's not legal in a lot of places. It's still being distracted while driving.

But if you absolutely need to text, and there's no way you could pull over somewhere and text, it's at least safer then driving and texting.
