Exactly..if you believe this I will sell you a certain bridge.

Regardless of the guardrail debate, OP's point against texting while driving is quite valid.

If that incident was in the USA, the guardrail was probably made by Trinity Industries, which has been plagued with numerous lawsuits and regulatory actions regarding its defective products that can act like a spear in a motor vehicle accident.
I live right next to a college town. I dodge texting drivers on a daily basis. It's gotten to the point where I just assume people aren't paying attention. Now at stop lights when they turn green and the person doesn't move, I usually just go around them instead of honking.

Made me glad I was in a huge bus instead of a standard car.
+1 I recently was a passenger in a raised pickup truck and watched in horror at how many maniacs are driving on the freeway while working their phones. It's an epidemic and this is in heavy traffic at 70+ mph!

Now they have cable barriers that are absolutely positively guarinteed to kill any motorcyclist that hits or is forced into one. If you hit with your car, it will suck the car in and total it on the spot. Bad bad bad these are. your only possible way to survive is jump if you are forced into one.

Bigot much?
Actually S.A. has separate but equal gender societies in many many cases. Something you just don't hear about.

Don't know what the driving age is in Saudi Arabia but I think it should be at least 21 here.

That got changed last year, women in Saudi Arabia can get drivers' licenses now. Haven't seen anything on the news about extra chaos there resulting from this.
