The road is full of distractions. You've got falafel carts on the side of the road, squirrels running up trees, and the girl next door running down the street in her sports bra. It's important to keep your head on a swivel, just not when you're looking at everything but the street and the other drivers.
The newest, and probably the worst, distraction comes in the form of a little electronic device known as a cell phone. It's one thing to talk on the phone, but the rise of texting has created a huge problem that causes hundreds of accidents every day. Even the smallest text can cause problems, but there are certain sentences that will really put you at danger behind the wheel. From angry texts from your parents to the stalker texts from an uknown number, these are The 20 Worst Text Messages To Receive While Driving.

Talk
Who It's From: Your girlfriend
This is one of those texts that's going to get your mind running through a bunch of scenarios about what you might have done to cause this text and how the actual talk is going to go. You won't be paying attention to all the traffic around you, which is never good.

You don't know who Robin and Jessica are, but that's not really of concern. Two girls jello wrestling. U-TURN!

Any time you have to squint to read a text message, it's never a good thing. More time on the phone means less time on the road.
Fired
Who It's From: Your boss
Damn, dude, I know we've been late 14 times, eaten half the food we're supposed to be serving and hooked up with the bar tender in the break room, but you're going to fire me in a text? C'mon, yo.

Text messages that sound like the start of Wrong Turn 14 are never okay.

No hugs, no kisses. Stay the hell away from me.

First of all, you're not my dawg. Not anymore. Second of all, I'm giving you 5 minutes. If you don't hide, I'm going to castrate you.
Ghostride
Who It's From: Mistah F.A.B.
What are you supposed to do? Deny a ghost ride request from THE Mistah F.A.B.? I don't think so. You're out on the highway dancin' your ass off.

This text would likely send any devoted fan into a fit, during which you let go of the wheel, stomp on the gas, curse out the entire world, and flick everybody off.
