People need to learn to just put down their phones, is the text message really worth walking into a lamp post or totaling your car?

But, what people fail to say is how amazing it is in the first place that our body is able to somewhat control its direction using peripheral vision while you sit glued on the device.

Anywho, yes it is somewhat dangerous to do so, but nothing can be done to fix this. You can only use common sense. I swear if they ban walking while texting i'm going to get slightly upset then deal with it because we will never really fight back.

Some teen walked off a cliff out here in CA a couple months back and was supposedly texting on his phone at the time. The Coroner listed the cause of death as Natural Selection.

I think he's just pointing out that the title is so freaking obvious: Yes of COURSE there is danger if you text and walk.
