Texting and driving

[e60550]

Ok guys/gals tell the truth. Do you TEXT and drive.

I'm going to have to go ahead and say YEAH.. It's wrong, but I type fast..lol

Texting won't happen behind my wheel... I saw a girl come within a few feet of a wreck while doing it.

txting can't happen for me. i have a plam pixix that is a pain in the ass to text on in the first place...

When I had a T9 phone I would text and drive, as long as there weren't other cars immediately around me. But now with a touch screen phone, I need to look to type, so I only text at red lights now, and only if it is urgent.

I still dont text. I wont until ATT doesnt REQUIRE for me to carry a 30/month plan for my Blackjack 2 that got grandfathered in to NOT have to have a smart phone plan.

When no one is near me and I don't even really look at the phone but yes it is bad

not moving TXT for me. Way too easy to cover a good distance without seeing whats going on.

This remindes me of the picture of me being such a safe driver

No and I have never sent a text period.

Guilty here, I do sometimes, but really short ones. Followed by "Driving" to let them know I'm driving. They need to ban it. And I need to STOP, it's a very bad habit, and someday something very bad could happen.

I try to stay away from texting and driving, but I do it on occasion. I am on teh same boat as Cosmos.... I need to stop doing it.

Everyone is worrying about texting and talking on the phone while driving but I ask what about sexting? I got a message today that I thought was a text but I was rather surprised to see it was a sexy photo instead followed by a rather...dare I say...provocative message.

I'd say it's about 50x more distracting than regular texting and 1000x more exciting. As a result I had a hard time focusing on the road as the image was burned into my mind...and it still is. Didn't focus at work to good either not that I think about it...

And I do believe sexting is in a different category than texting. Just wanted to make that clear.

In the state of Utah it is officially illegal to text and drive. You can actually do up to 15 years in prison if you cause an accident while texting. I'm not kidding.

A dude in my home town killed a couple people because he was texting while driving. One of the most surprising parts of the story is, he only drifted over the line a few inches, clipped a car, the car then got broadsided and the occupants were killed. A few inches over the center line killed people.

I will never text and drive again.
