In addition to being part of a growing trend of automobile accidents, you might become a victim of irony:

In yet another example of why you shouldn’t text and drive, an Alabama college student drove off a cliff while texting.

Fortunately, he survived, but incurred some serious injuries. After six months of recovering, he’s finally able to talk about it.

Right before Chance Both’s truck went over a cliff, he texted, “I need to quit texting, because I could die in a car accident.”

Seriously, folks, don’t text while driving. Even if you’re as lucky as this guy, it’s not as funny as it might sound. It’s also completely illegal in many places.
