>Christal McGee's words say it all. "Lucky to be alive." The 18-year-old posted a Snapchat photo with those words after crashing her white Mercedes into another car.

>According to a lawsuit, she was barreling down a highway in Atlanta back in September trying to boast about her speed on Snapchat.

>The man McGee crashed into, Wentworth Maynard, is now suing her and Snapchat. His lawyer says the feature that allows you to post your speed is very dangerous.

>Maynard is suing McGee and Snapchat for ongoing medical fees. Attorney Erin Ehrlich believes he could have a case.

>"It does raise some questions about whether Snapchat could have legitimately and reasonably known that people would be using this feature while they are driving," she said.

>Snapchat released a statement saying, "We actively discourage our community from using the speed filter while driving, including by displaying a "Do NOT Snap and Drive" warning message in the app itself."

This is what happens when medical science messes with natural selection. Literally too dumb to live.

This is what happens when we let anyone sue anyone without discipline for bullshittery.

This case is probably going to be thrown out immediately, especially since it is already against the law to use your phone while driving in most states, and they already had a disclaimer to not use the application while driving.

No no no.

If one is going at a high speed and selects the speed counter filter then it will say in white text "Do NOT Snap and Drive"

But a couple days ago they added a full screen filter that says something along the same lines.
