I've got to say Malissa I think the whole thing got a little overblown as well. Should any one be checking twitter while driving? No, of course not. But 9 times out of ten I'm moving at 70MPH as the news team claims they were, I could very safely use my phone to call someone, or change the podcast I'm listing too. How many times a drive do you look down at your dashboard, catch an animal you don't see every day, (like the turkeys by the mill lets say), or look at something else that does not help you in driving safely. You posting as a girl, ever applied makeup on the road? I've seen that actually cause an accident.
Seems to me like a helicopter mom getting bent out of shape over nothing, like that type of parent always does.
