Yes, I did read the article. She started it as a joke, but still she continues to text and drive, despite near accidents. If she really thought it was stupid and dangerous, she wouldn't continue to do it. Having several near accidents should have been a wakeup call to her to modify her driving, but it hasn't. I suspect that she is the kind of person who will only learn the hard way, either by accident or by sudden increase in insurance due to traffic violations.
