Tow Truck Driver Texts While Driving, Ends Up In Pool

“Lockport, N.Y., police say tow truck driver Nicholas Sparks was texting on one cell phone while talking on another when he slammed into a car and crashed into a swimming pool.”

Additional proof, as if any were needed, that men can’t multitask. A woman can cook dinner, talk on the phone, watch Oprah Winfrey, smoke, and work on a soduku puzzle at the same time. But must guys have a hard time managing to walk and breathe at the same time.

Texting increases your chance of getting into an accident by 23 times — not 23 percent. (23 freaking times) Texting while driving should be banned by every state.

The hapless tow truck driver landed in hot water — figuratively and literally. But he deserves to land in jail, for his complete lack of concern for the well-being of his fellow drivers.
