An article just came out saying that there are a lot of people taking selfles and tagging them on Instagram. According to Huffington Post:
"There are over 3 million posts on Instagram tagged with '#driving,' nearly 50,000 with '#drivinghome,' over 9,000 tagged '#drivingtowork' and more than 3,500 tagged '#drivingselfie,'" reads the report.
I have trolled these selfles before and once or twice politely asked the person to think about the danger of doing this while driving.

It's really interesting to me as many of these people would probably claim that car crashes are "tragic accidents" yet they might run in a race to find a cure for breast cancer. Yet they won't discipline themselves enough to not jeopardize their life by taking a selfie.
Wow, there is even a #drivingselfie hashtag.
I think these people should be criminally reprimanded. If a person walked into a public space and pulled out a gun people would scream and call 911. Car crashes are the #1 cause of death for young people. Young, being under the age of 35. That's a lot of people.
Around 30,000 Americans are dying annually in car crashes.
Around 110 every single day in America die.
Please do not take a selfie while driving.
Way to go Toyota, they just released an ad saying "Don't Shoot and Drive." We need more car companies to step up like the phone companies have been. Car companies should be selling safe driving. More people to buy your cars auto industry.
