Stupid Girl Rearends Truck While Texting- Now Parents Demand Tougher Laws

Taylor Sauer was a pretty little thing- but boy was she stupid. She was posting a status update to her Facebook page when the SUV she was driving rammed into the back of a truck while she was doing 80 on the Interstate.

Now her parents are understandably heartbroken. But now they are a crusade to ban texting while driving in their state- as if that would somehow have prevented the stupid actions of their precious angel.

From the DailyMail here:

Taylor Sauer, a teenager who was texting every 90 seconds during her four hour commute from Utah State University to her parents’ home on January 14, made a fatal mistake while behind the wheel.

Her prolific last text was ‘Driving and facebooking is not safe! Haha.’ Seconds later, she slammed into a tanker truck at 80mph.

Now, Ms Sauer’s grieving parents are hoping to use their daughter’s tragic story as a way to change driving laws, and make texting while driving in Idaho illegal.

She was driving late at night down a stretch of flat highway. Her last message was: ‘I can’t discuss this now. Driving and facebooking is not safe! Haha.’

Moments later, Ms Sauer slammed into a truck that was crawling up a hill. She was killed instantly.

Do all your texting at stop lights like me. People will beep to tell you when its time to go.
