Taylor Sauer knew facebooking while driving was a bad idea.

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....

My God - that is the worst possible thing that could happen, and it is definitely a wake-up call for all of us.

When I bumped my car few weeks ago (?), it was by a slight distraction and I didn't have my foot on the brake.
No way I could text.

And if texting becomes illegal, will officers become more sharp?
