Why you shouldn't text and drive

This guy took out 2 mailboxes, 2 recycling bins, 2 trash cans, a utility pole, and a fence. The truck came to a rest up against the next utility pole after traveling down the ditch. He dragged the bottom half of the pole with him.

I see people texting and driving all of the time. They're easy to spot. About 20MPH under the speed limit and wandering all over the road.

The speed limit here is 40mph, but everyone does at least 50. For him to go through the pole and end up at the other end of the ditch he must have been going at least that fast.

They are putting up the new pole now so my power will be out for a while.

I lost my first car to a chatty teenager, and my second car to a drunk guy in a fast car. I hate stupid drivers.

He's lucky it was only property damage here. Looks like a painful repair bill on that truck, not to mention the big ticket he'll get, and his insurance rates going up.
