Thankfully, my province just make a law that you can't talk on a cell and drive at the same time. I don't know how effective it is, but it would be nice if it helped reduced the numbers.
Speaking of cell phone laws; back when California first passed a 'don't talk on the phone while driving' law, they forgot to include texting in that ban. So a lot of people thought "oh, talking is illegal but texting isn't. So I'll just text instead!". So the law had to be quickly amended to included texting because tons of idiots started texting on the road and causing accidents. ...it's way too easy for stupid people to get a damn drivers license. :(
(Oprah has been really trying to get people to stop texting while driving. She even did a whole episode on it and I think it's still up on her website. She left it there for people to watch and wise up. Maybe the show would scare your sister into stop texting while driving. XP)
When my mother and I (mom was on my side when I got home) told my sister how stupid her opinions on texting are; she accused us of only hating texting-while-driving because Oprah told us to. :P
I'd like to believe that Kay's accident was a wake up call. But I'm pretty sure my sister believes that Kay only rear-ended that car because she was tired.
