"... The 18-year-old college student said so in her last status update: "I can't discuss this now. Driving and facebooking is not safe! Haha."

At the time, Sauer was driving 80 mph from the Utah State University campus in Logan to visit her folks in Caldwell, Idaho, and was passing the time on the four-hour drive by messaging her friend about the Denver Broncos, according to MSNBC.com

Moments after her last update, she crashed her car into a tanker truck that was going 15 mph up a hill and was killed instantly.

Investigators weren't able to find signs that Sauer applied the brakes before her fatal crash, but, after checking cell phone records, they did discover she was posting about every 90 seconds during her drive, according to Idaho State Police Lt. Sheldon Kelley...."

Quote from Tsing Tao:

Isn't texting and driving already illegal? Is there need for a new law to specify "facebooking"?

I don't think it is illegal yet. In some states, using a hand-held cell phone is illegal... unless in an emergency(?)

Texting while driving should be illegal, as it's even more distracting than a cell phone.

I agree. I also think that walking out on the hood of your car should be illegal while you are driving.

Oh, they don't do that yet? Wait until next year as people get even more stupid.
