The Northwestern reports that 42-year-old Scott Perzentka from Oshkosh, "was riding his motorcycle home from work on July 3, 2003, along the frontage road near Planeview Travel Plaza when a semitrailer turned in front of him." The crash left Perzentka in a coma for two months. He suffered, "severe injuries, including a head injury, broken jaw, teeth ribs and pelvis, a shattered left hip and two hernias," according to The Northwestern.

After coming out of his coma, Perzentka was determined to make sure others paid more attention on the road.

"'It was as simple as someone not paying attention," Perzentka said. "'I almost died and now I'm going to spend the rest of my life trying to help,'" Perzentka emphasized to The Northwestern.

In Wisconsin, there currently are no bans on texting while driving. However, that does not mean that texting while driving is a safe activity.

As numerous studies have shown, texting while driving significantly increases the chance that drivers will be involved in serious accidents. For that reason, many states have passed laws that either restrict or ban the use of cell phones while driving. The issue has been raised among Wisconsin lawmakers, but no formal law has been passed.
