and there is a subsequent accident, should the non-driver "texter" be held accountable? A judge is scheduled to decide this very issue this Friday in a New Jersey Court. In this accident, the driver claimed that he was "driven to distraction" by his girlfriend's constant texting. No doubt HE is liable. What about HER (if it can be proven that she knew he was driving)? He slammed into two motorcylists; each had to have a leg amputated. Who knows...maybe the radio stations can be blamed when there are vehicular accidents? "The radio distracted me." Well then , you should turn it off (duhh!)

No. The responsibility rest solely on the driver. He could have turned his phone off or pulled over somewhere. Of course an irresponsible person like him would try to fault another. I can't believe a judge is even going to hear this b.s.

He is totally responsible for his actions. his girlfriend cant be responsible, because he alone picked up the phone..They need to make cellphones that stop working, when someone is driving.
