This is what happened to a friend of mine's neighbor's house. A teenaged girl was speeding down the street going 50 through the neighborhood while TEXTING! Up through the grass and into the house. Can you imagine??
You know what I can't imagine? How often I play with my girls in our front yard.

Dang! Hopefully, no one was hurt, and she learned a very good (and expensive) lesson.
That is so scary! I always see this stupid teenage girl speeding through our neighborhood. It drives me nuts! AND she is driving a Mercedes! I sure hope that this girl did not hurt anyone.
I live near a school and I
see unreasonable speeds at
all hours of the day ,
including when kids are
coming to school. I've
heard about a few near
misses of kids, including
my daughter. Luckly we now
have snow bank padding now,
so they will not be hitting
anyones houses anytime soon.
But I am concerned about the
texting problem I see out
there!
that is awful!!!
That is so frightening! She could have killed someone. I hear most of these teenagers text while they drive! And here I am thinking TALKING on the cellphone is dangerous while operating a motor vehicle. Terrible.
Wow! That is really scary!!!
That is terrible.. thankfully no one was hurt AND that she learned a lesson..
OH my gosh, how SCARY!!!
WOW, I am glad that I am the only one in the second phase of our neighborhood, far far in the back, away from everyone...except the deer and I am afraid the only damage they do is eating all of the landscaping....
Yikes! YIKES!!!
How many months until YOU have a teenager? How many months until she is driving?
LOL... you can bother me in 8 years about having teenagers. Mkay?
I can't even talk to someone when I text never mind drive.Why do teenagers think they are invincible? Maybe you should put up a nice guard rail in front of your yard?
I hadn't given it a thought until you mentioned playing in the yard. Then I got a sick feeling in my stomach. Wow.
UGH. I loathe texting teens! They are so dangerous. I saw an episode about a teen texter on Dr. Phil (please, no comments) and she couldn't care less about the potential damage she could do. She said she was an "expert" at texting and was safe. Yeah, right. It KILLED me!
Texting or even talking while driving is almost as bad as drunk driving. I think every state should have the hands free law and give out serious fines for violations. This is also why I drive a big ass SUV to protect my little one from bad drivers (which seem to grow on trees in Austin)
That is very scary!!
If I was that girls mom I would so beat her texting ass! Crazy! I hope everyone was okay though!!!
Yikes! So very scary!
Not the first time I've heard of that. A car drove into the corner of a house on my street when I was a teenage. It was at night and luckily people were sleeping in the back of the house.
The anonymous comment was from me but I was on crack and could not remember my password...yikes! Senility strikes early.
That is so dangerous~ how scary! I can only imagine the amount of dangerous if the house wasn't brick! Wow!
Here's to hoping she learned her lesson. But then again, if she was driving 50 in a neighborhood while texting, but she probably isn't bright enough to learn her lesson.
HOLY COW! I can barely hold my phone and drive at the same time. When it rings while I am driving and I am frantically looking for it through my purse, I suddenlly get jolted to my senses thinking I would NOT have seen any small child run in front of me while I was doing that. Insane. I often just let it ring when I am driving now. I can get back to them in 10 minutes, since most of my drives are too and from running the kids to an event or school and don't last longer than that anyway.
KEEP BELIEVING
texting + driving = VERY BAD THINGS
That's very, very scary!!!
I just got chills. How scary!
That's terrible! Wow - things happen so fast. Guess we should resort to our backyards!
That is soooo scary! I better talk to my teenage sister....I hope she doesn't do stuff like that!
holy crap!! that is so flipping scary!! thank god no one was hurt...i'm assuming that no one was hurt...even the moron who was at the wheel!!
xoxo
So glad no one was hurt... that could have been senselessly tragic. Can you imagine that girl gets her phone taken away? Mine would until she's 33!
That is AWFUL!!
I hope that girl gets her phone and car taken away from her... FOREVER!!!
Oh geez. That is so scary. Glad everyone is safe. Kids just don't have enough experience driving to handle the cell phone thing too. Sheesh!
OMG! I hope everyone was okay. That is so awful! Glad you girls were NOT in the front yard. I can't even imagine.
That is so scary! That is the first thing I thought of. I actually always think about that when I am playing with the boys in our front yard. So scary!
That is frightening!! Really scary! Take care - Kellan
UGGGHHHH. I hope no one was hurt! Why do people now feel like they need to communicate 24/7???
We live between two high schools...one at the bottom of our street and one at the top. People FLY down our street. My kids are only allowed to play in the back yard.
