While we don't yet know for sure on this case, it is very likely. IMO texting while driving is posing a much greater danger than drinking due to the wider group that will potentially do it. I know for myself personally, my recent close calls have all been due to distracted drivers who were texting. I almost got hit head on the other day by a texting driver. I saw him coming halfway into my lane from a long way off. I got as far off the road as I could and he looked up and swerved back to his lane at the last minute. Dangerous stuff.

Regardless of the reason, prayers go the Tallmans.

We've had a number of people here in Maine killed, or killed someone else, but little is done to stop it. When the Legislatures are seen texting behind the wheel on the way to session you know nothing serious will be done.

We here in Tennessee are praying for them and their family.

my prayer go out to them, hope they get well soon.

[Firefly]

Wishing them the best in recovering... but I really don't think they need a bunch of us calling and bothering them. I'm sure they're tired and need their energy for recovery.

Perhaps just one of us... someone who knows them... can be a point of contact between us Spyderlovers and them.

As far as texting and driving.... I see it all the time and it pisses me off. They could make phones so that you cannot text while in motion... but then passengers would be limited.

I'm sorry I wasn't able to get to this soon but our prayers are with them and we hope for a speedy recovery. As one who has been rear ended four times now I can say this messes with your head for a long time after.

I used to work perimeter security at a large Govt facility. Folks would drive up to the entry gate, doing make-up, reading books, eating breakfast cereal in a bowl with milk. Just &@$#% amazing! Distracted driving should be cause for suspension of your drivers license for a period of time. A second offense it should be grounds for lose of you license for ever. Too many folks are being injured and killed with Really little done to the perpetrator.

I had not thought about it for a while, but I was rear ended. I was luckier then most though. I was operating a fully loaded school bus. I made a student pick up stop, yellow lights, then the red ones and opened the door. The student was next to me when the guy hit the bus. Moved the bus a foot and a half from the dead stop. Nobody on bus hurt. Car driver said, he wasn't but car a total loss. All of the hood was under the bus. LEO (Law Enforcement Offical) got there and asked the guy if I had my red student lights on ? He answered yes. LEO said, it does not matter, but were his brake lights on. (We were taught to keep our foot on the brakes for extra light in back. I was not pressing hard). the guy answered, yes. He had two
big brake lights and two small ones.
After the guy left, LEO said, your student lights should have told him something, but in all cases, if the guy in front of you has brake lights on. It might be a good idea for you to put your brakes on. His speed was estimated at the speed limit, 50 MPH.
End result for me, manditory drug test, scratched rear bumber (spray painted over) and tons of paperwork. Estimated bus weight at time of crash was 17,000 lbs.
I will add another set of prayers for this couple.

I second the motion. It's scarry to look at people driving by these days. Mostly every vehicle is occupied by a moron who is on the phone or doing one or more of the above. Add drinking, drug use, and you have a real recipe for disaster. A couple weeks ago, akspyderlady was almost run into by an idiot who was texting.

Praying that Steven and Carla heal rapidly and completely. If anyone talks with their family, please let them know that their Spyderlover family has them in their thoughts and prayers.
