Duh. Don't Text & Drive.

An 18-year-old Washington kid gets sentenced to 60 months in prison for vehicular homicide -- which was committed because he was texting while driving. (Totally unrelated, why does Firefox not recognize "texting" as a word? Get with it!) But then there's this:

Patterson was riding his bicycle home from school when Cellestine's car trailed into the bike lane and struck him from behind. Cellestine then sped away. He was arrested the next day.

Did he get 5 years because of the texting or because it was a hit and run? Either way, stop texting and driving. Five years in jail won't erase a lifetime of guilt.
