No Wonder Phone Usage When Driving Is Almost Outlawed

I'm sure that in the area you live in there are government officials trying to outlaw phone usage when driving. Well sometimes it could be good, and other times it could be bad. One man in Oregon was texting and driving at the same time. Bad combination, beacuse when he looked up, a freight train was right in front of him. He slammed into the train, but everything was okay except for the car. The man turned out to be fine. But let me ask you a question. How do you not notice a train even if you aren't looking? They're big and loud, plus they block the entire road.

That's why I think along with the driver's license test, states should now offer phone usage while driving tests. That way people still have enough skill behind the wheel to drive and text at the same time. No need to outlaw phone usage.
