Teen Imprisoned for Text-Related Death

It is pretty much known that a person should not drive and use a cell phone at the same time. Texting has grown tremendously and I noticed that many people prefer to text than chat for some reason. Texting while driving is just a tad worse than talking while driving and I can say I am guilty of that. I wouldn't dare try it on my new iPhone though. Still not use to typing on the keyboard just yet.

Unfortunately for a British teenage girl, she could have 4 long years to think about not texting while driving again. A girl by the name of Rachel Begg was reported to have used her phone nine different times in 15 minutes before she ran into her grandmother's vehicle, killing her in the process, and sentenced to 4 years in prison. It gets a little worse--Begg was driving at 70mph under dark rainy conditions.

Be careful out there!
