The full ramifications of the risk must be understood... and to a society that tends to shun responsibilities, this is often overlooked.
I, like you, tend to just let the messages pile up until such time as I can attend to them with NO risk.

About two months ago I nearly got in an accident on a freeway. I was in far left of 3 lanes. Can in center lane suddenly slowed to about 40 and was weaving half way into lanes on right and left. My initial reaction was driver was having a medical emergency..... I passed and checked it out.
Driver was textging both eyes down.
