hi my name is haley and im a sophomore at syracuse university. i am writing an article on driving while texting and how mothers feel about it (MADT). It is like MADD but MADT are mad at drivers who text while driving instead of drinking. I was wondering if i could interview someone on how they feel about texting and driving, what should be done, how it is like MADD, and applications that should be used.
please email me back at

if you are interested
thank you
haley

I am moved by these comments.Finally some people are speaking out. I hear and see about this often.Something needs to be done about these senseless tragedies as a resultof texting while driving. This is a major issue akin to driving while drunk and driving while using a cell phone.

All cars should be equipped with integrated Bluetooth as this allows hands-free talking. It is a safety feature.
Further advanced phones could allow speech-to-text messages. End of distracting finger based texting with many live spared.

Obviously there should be a Mad Mothers Against Texting, as texting is eight times as likely as drunks to cause accidents and death. But MADD is basically against males. Here is the smoking gun:
Since many females also text, this class of women are not nearly as offended, even though logically they should be.

Now of course many people with get emotional to the truthful opinion. In the meantime our loved ones are needlessly dying because we don’t want to give up texting. Realize we are the problem and are to self centered and selfish to take the necessary action.

However I’m doing my part, as both of my cars have handsfree Bluetooth.

What about when you are travelling down an Interstate and see an SUV holding a soccer mom and 3 kids, talking on the phone animatedly and weaving all over, just to have her pass you and see that she has a big prominant MADD sticker on the back of the SUV?

My son was killed by a redlight runner on his cellphone. The man was in his 50th. It not just kids doing it .I have a myspace for Tim too. I have cellphone accident in the picture part of myspace. My mind was blowed away by how bad it is out there. We need to stop this madness. It started with talking and now its texting.Wake up people you cann’t drive and be on the cellphone. Intoxicated with the conversation and Intexticated its just plain murder.Tim was just sitting at a redlight that Sunday afternoon. When the man ran the red light and a sixteen yr girl hit him. He went airborne and came down on Tim. Our lives changed for every. That man got off FREE FREE. They called it NO INTENT. Every body knows the fight thats going on with cellphone driver. Were not trying to take your phone away. We are trying to stop you from killing our kids. Kathy Couch
