Because they are selfish and ignorant. It is against the law in all states in the United States. People still do it however because they know there is not enough police presence on the roads. In my state they recently raised the fine to $400.00. This does not deter the people though because I still see them drive past me holding the phone to their ear and talking away, not paying attention to the road. Sadly, the only way these people learn is after they cause an accident. It's awesome to see a young person like yourself take notice and question this. Kudos to you!

The last time I texted was on a two lane road, leading up to a stop sign, going 35 mph. I was very familiar with the road. I was not familiar with the truck that was parked on the side of the road and almost hit it.
That was enough for me. I'll pull off the road if I want to send a message to somebody.
