Final Outside reading

For my outside reading i read an article on texting. the article was named Death by Texting. when you see tabloids you usually see celeberties texting and walking. when your multitasking, texting shouldnt be just one of the things you are doing along with other things, expecially driving. in july 2007, a 17 year old girl was driving with her friends and she drove right into a semi truck killing her and her four friends instantly. research showed that minutes before the crash she sent a text message. if she hadnt been texting while driving all of them could have been fine. this accident woke up the government and now is illegal in four states to text while driving. these states include Alaska, Minnesota, New Jersey, and Washington. there is also a bill going on to ban texting in New York, Oregon, California, and other states. Some people have had accidents while texting, but less severe than the 17 year old in New York. one girl was texting her boyfriend and got first-degree burns because she was boiling noodles on the stove. another was riding a horse and let go of the rigns to respond to a text and got back and neck injuries, also a 16 year old guy walked right into a telephone pole and received a concussion. so the message is dont text while driving or walking....if thats possible for some.
