It doesn't matter what you're capable of. Just because you *can* do something, doesn't mean it's right. You may not harm yourself, but what about innocent lives that are taken by your carelessness? People picked at random for your "culling"?
I was hit by a car this year at 2:00pm, in bright clothes, while walking down the street. I was at a one-way crosswalk traveling parallel to the traffic on the drivers side. The crosswalk sign flashed, giving me the right of way, and I began crossing. I was hit from behind from a turning car halfway through the crosswalk. If I had not landed the way I did on the pavement, he would have rolled over my arm, leg, or maybe both. If I had been two feet ahead of where I was, I might be dead right now.
To my knowledge this driver was not texting.
People already lack awareness as-is. Add alcohol or texting to the mix and you get terrible things.
