Res ipsa loquitur ("The thing itself speaks")
We have previously seen stories (here) on bus drivers texting while driving. Now, we have a video of a driver, Adrian Perez, who crashes while texting.
A recent study found texting increases the chances of a crash by 23 times, here.
This video is from last year of a driver in San Antonio, Texas.

Kind of surprised it’s only 23 times.
Hmm,
I wonder if they still get to claim Governmental Immunity?
Texting while driving should carry the same penalties as driving under the influence.
