texting while driving....? do you do it?

[bolts04]

I don't text when I'm not driving so I guess I don't do it when I'm driving either.

[wvusteelers8893]

I try not to do it, but I have been guilty of texting while driving, thats for sure.

[angelchef80]

no its too dangerous get onto my husband all the time for it

[phizliz]

Only when I'm stuck at stop lights, or late at night when the road's empty.

[vlsm23]

I do but I am trying to stop.  However, I do talk on my cell phone and I dont plan on stopping that.  I have such a long commute that if I'm tired I have to talk to someone or I might fall asleep.

Texting while driving is one of the dumbest thing anyone can do. It's dangerous and thoughtless since if you get into an accident you risk hurting or killing someone else as well as yourself. In my opinion texting while driving is in the same category as drunk driving.

[luckypete]

never, not worth the risk, whatever that person wants, they can wait.

[MrsTBarber]

I try not to do it because of the risk.  I would hate to be the reason an accident occurs!

My wife used to text me while she was driving, until we went to this house of horrors sort of thing (called the 99 for anyone who's heard of it, where they show the 13 most preventable causes of deaths that kill 99 teens every day) where they showed two cars destroyed in a head-on collision caused by texting and driving, the passengers either dead or dying with blood all over them and the cars.  The driver of one car struggled to get out of his car, called 911 and then slumped dead through the broken window with blood draining from him.  Freaked me out so badly, I made my wife promise she would NEVER ever text again while driving, and she has almost never done so since then.  Now she waits until she is stopped at a red light, or she'll pull off the road first.

Where is that located? It sounds interesting and like it would be a good lesson for kids.

I don't text while I drive. I have talked on my cell when I drive, but I try not to. It is so dangerous.

[Heyitsme3478]

I myself cant text while driving..and i hate it when ppl do it! Its really dangerous and i dont like it

[MorbidRaccoon]

I do all the time...not really a good idea but screw it. 

[trujillo33]

I use to text while I am driving..but not anymore!!!

[JinxdParadox]

NO!

Oh man, about 10 or so years ago, I was driving along and my cell phone rang, so I answered it.
Within that few seconds, I stopped at a green light and ran 2 redlights.
From that moment in time forward, I said "never again" and always turned off my phone
while in the car after that.

I can't imagine how people think they can multi-task efficiently with makeup, food, phone, texting, etc
while driving.

Seriously, you're hurling down the road in a hunk of metal at high speeds, while other hunks
of metal and infinite stationary objects are around you. Wouldn't logic say keep your focus
on the road and the safety of your life/lives of others'? 

[bschumacher]

No. It's even more dangerous than talking; at least you're watching the road (sorta) when you talk.

[iridemyhorse4fun]

No, I don't.  I make who ever is sitting in the passanger seat do it for me and if I don't have anyone in the car I just wait until I stop driving.
