I think the real issue is that he failed to see a vehicle in his blind spot…that is what caused the collision…not the texts. The texts just make it sexier for the media to report!

possible texter :question:

rambo19:
I reckon the reason he didnt see the car driver move into his blindspot was because he was to busy with his phone.
The truck driver is/was a pr*ck who killed 2 people, end off, imo.

Spot on

If he been doing his job properly and paying attention he would have seen the car.

I work for a company that has phones fitted, but it cannot be used while the vehicle is in motion,also, as I am working on a BP contract, their policy is ,as it is Tanker work, I cannot carry a mobile phone, tablet, e-book reader, sat nav, or any other piece of equipment that needs a battery or has to be charged to work,I have to carry an intrinsically safe torch also, this is a great thing in my opinion, except that all my books are on a kindle and I cannot use it.
