Texting While Driving


A Southern California man accused of killing a pedestrian while driving and text messaging has been ordered to stand trial for gross vehicular manslaughter
Associated Press Report.

This is not a radical charge. Negligent homicide has long been recognized by most states. Usually there degree of negligence must be gross. But it seems to me that texting while driving is so risky, to attention diverting, that a negligent homicide charge is a real possibility.
