Proof that people are morons.

This is while driving:

The survey found that 27 percent of drivers age 16 to 65 report using Facebook, and 14 percent report using Twitter. Of those, a startling 30 percent who said they post to Twitter while driving do it “all the time.”

And from:

The survey found, 17 percent take selfies, perhaps a fitting metaphor for ignoring everyone else on the road. The survey also found that texting remains the most prevalent activity, reported by 61 percent of drivers, followed by 33 percent who email and 28 percent who surf the Internet. More than 10 percent use Instagram and Snapchat.

Notice, more than half of all drivers admit to texting while driving.  We need self-driving cars, because we certainly can't trust the idiots doing it now.

Jesus fuck. That is scary.

I saw a program once where they compared texting while driving to driving after consuming alcohol, I forget how much exactly. And it came out to be about the same reduction in awareness.

Selfies while driving? No more cars. Stop the cars.

I see it all the time around here. Fucking pathetic.

You still needed proof?

You still needed proof?

I am providing it for the deluded fools who imagine that there is intelligent life on this planet.  Of course, proving that people are morons does not get people to believe it.  After all, they are morons.  

Maybe I should seek medication to quell my fears that I am living in a madhouse.

Dominique Sharpton did a particularly stupid selfie. Might cost her $5,000,000.00.

Driving a vehicle while texting is six times more dangerous than driving while intoxicated according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
