TIME interviews one of the stupidest people of the decade.
FIRST PERSON WITH: Taylor Leming, college grad, 21
Created Facebook group I Text Message People While Driving and I Haven’t Crashed Yet!
Alaska and Louisiana just became the latest states to pass laws banning text-messaging behind the wheel. It’s a popular activity: YouTube has videos of young adults texting while driving, and about 600 Facebook members have joined a group called I Text Message People While Driving and I Haven’t Crashed Yet! TIME’s Sarah N. Lynch contacted the group’s founder, Taylor Leming, 21, of Round Hill, Va., who submitted her responses via e-mail:
Why did you start this group?
My friends and I were laughing about how we sometimes text and drive, and how we know it’s dangerous and have nearly rear-ended people because of it. I made the group mainly as a joke among us and a few of our friends. And gradually people invited their friends, and so on.
She’s supposedly a college grad. And is so damn stupid. I hope she gets run over by a car driven by one of her dumbass friends that’s text messaging her “i b over u” while driving the short bus they must all be riding.
This persons reason for being so damn greedy that she can’t control herself?
Do you think texting while driving is a problem?
Yes. Unfortunately, people still do it. I still do it. Sometimes it just seems easier to text “Be there in 5″ instead of calling.
What are they teaching kids in college these days that she can’t make the logical assumption that you don’t have to text “be there in 5 unless i rear end someone” and instead can just show up in 5 minutes? What’s the major malfunction in this persons brain that she can’t call before she leaves, say she’s gonna be there in 30 minutes, and just show up?
I can’t wait for the lawsuit for the first person she hits. Text messaging or not, I hope the victim read this and sues her for all she’ll ever be worth in her lifetime.

i have a serious problem with this! I hate when people TALK on cell phones.. but to text on one.. holy freaking cow.. ok need to make a course for these people and just let them all crash into & kill each other off.. these people are too freaking stupid to be on this earth not to mention our roads!
how on earth it is any place allows people to use a cell phone While driving is beyond me.. this is a no-brainer. seat belts are law.. why is driving with out a freaking cell phone in your ear not a a law? the lack of a seat belt will not distract me and make a crash into someone.. but some yahoo chit-chatting, or egad texting certainly will! and i see them drive.. i see them skip stop signs, lights, aimlessly dodge around lanes.. they are not paying attention (and these are the ones who are talking, i don’t even want to fathom the texters).. we really need a special place (gas chamber) to clean up this waste of life.. and these people go to college, ma & pa must be proud! (sigh)
