‘Double texter’ caught driving a car with his knees

It’s an impressive skill, this texting business, and no one can do it quite like our Gen-Y demographic. So it’s no surprise that at the spry young age of 19, Dandre Moore hits all the requisite marks for hyper-dexterity.

The Mississippi resident has been “double texting” since he was 15. In Gen-X and above language, this means texting with both hands on two different phones at the same time.

While there’s nothing wrong per se with this communication method, there is a time and place for double texting. Driving a car with a three-year-old in the backseat and three additional passengers in the vehicle is not one of those times.

As NBC News notes, police in Mobile, Ala. pulled Moore over and spotted him double texting behind the wheel. In absence of any hands with which to steer the moving vehicle, the Mobile County Sheriff’s Office said Moore had commandeered the wheel with his knees.

After they pulled him over, police searched the car. That’s when a sheriff’s office spokesperson told the Press Register that they also found Xanax and a bottle full of oxycodone, a prescription painkiller. Well, not exactly full. The bottle, which had been filled the week before with 720 pills, had just over half that amount remaining, the spokesperson added.

Moore’s older brother, Dartavious Moore, allegedly had an ounce of marijuana tucked away in his skivvies.

Both brothers were charged with possession: Dartavious for marijuana and Dandre for illegal possession of Xanax and possession of a controlled substance.

And if there were ever a time to dust off the old “Kids, don’t try this at home… or in a moving vehicle” phrase this would be it.
