So a girl was shocked to read that the taxi she rode last night was involved in a rape case. But then, she remembered texting a friend the details of her transportation. She made quite an affair of it, reading out the plate number and the info while tapping her keys as loudly as possible. She basically made sure the driver knew she sent the info to friend.

Now I’m not saying taxis are an extremely dangerous way of getting around. But the safety benefit of the cell phone in that scenario is clear. The rare taxi driver with bad motives may indeed, fabricate his vehicle’s information. Yet sometimes all it takes to avoid trouble is taking advantage of the cell phone’s ability to store information and send it to others.

You literally have no excuse, as practically any cell phone makes it easy to input textual information—and to send it to a virtually unlimited number of people.
