Quote lornaree: now if they would only stop fueling up that jet so much! It seems to be more of a realistic s/l, than their drug s/l. I hope they handle it with some truth, instead of screwing everything up and making it unbelieveable. They are pretty good at that type of story. |

This is great issue. I glad for change of storyline and I believe it would help opening eyes of texting and driving. |

I wish they would have showed how Anthony got in the road. Like a camera view of Marcus texting, and how obvious it was that Anthony was there and Marcus could have stopped had he seen. I think that would help people watching to see how easy it is. |

In real life, texting is a deadly issue. |

Quote myfavs100: In real life, texting is a deadly issue. About a week before Christmas, 2010, the son of one of my acquaintances was driving home from high school and he had a friend as a passenger. The driver was 16, and the passenger 17. It was the last day of school before Christmas. About a mile from the school, they had an accident. The driver did not stop at a stop sign where the road dead-ended, and hit an embankment on the other side of the road. Both boys where killed. This was a road they drove on every day. Perfect weather. No brake marks, no obvious car problem before the accident. My guess is one or both boys were texting. I went to the visitation for my acquaintance's son, about 40 miles from here. The line was over 4 hours long. Two families buried their sons, lifelong friends, right before Christmas. When I got to my office the next day, I told everyone what appeared to have happened. The daughter of one of my clerks was a college senior, and was working for us until the spring semester started. Her father was visiting us at our small office that morning. After I talked about texting, he pointed to his daughter and said she was one of the worst about doing that. That is such a tragedy! I don't know how people can even try and text while driving. I have a cell phone, but not the keyboard....if I text, it takes me forever, I'd rather talk to the people....it's ridiculous how technology is so abused, especially behind a wheel of a car. It's hard enough to second guess what people are doing on the road driving, and then to add texting on top of it. Not too long ago and maybe people have seen this, it did go viral. A cop was driving, using her knees and texting like crazy....someone took a picture of her and put it on facebook. If that doesn't take the cake, and it was against the law in that state. Is texting while driving a law for all of the US, or just certain states? I rarely text, I find it idiotic. I think it can be rude too. It's almost become an obsession. |

Anthony is pretty banged up, though, to not be all that hurt. When there's a high velocity impact, usually, the victim flies in the air and is not caught under the wheel of the car. It's almost like the car punches the victim and sends them flying at least a few feet from the car. I'm not saying a football field or anything, just a some sort of distance. Well, I guess unless Marcus kept rolling the car for a few feet before stopping. I guess that's possible. I was wondering if he was hurt and left in the street before Marcus hit him, Marcus wasn't driving fast and did not run up on the curb. He almost had to have been lying in the street. Or did he walk out in front of the car?? They have never given a clue. It is a shame to run the first good wedding I have seen on B&B. |

ITA on that one the writers leave alot out of the s/l. that is what makes the show fall flat alot of times.
