I'm so bad at texting that it would take me 100 miles to get a message out.  I just don't try it at all while driving.  I do talk on the phone if I'm out where there's not much traffic especially on a 4 lane divided highway which I have to use to get most places from my home.  Since I'm way out in a rural area there's not much traffic on it.

I don't do either.  If I have to use my phone, I will usually pull over and stop.

None mainly because I don't ever drive! I would never text behind the wheel though. I would probably take a phone call since I rarely ever get phone calls so it might be important.

I pull off the road to call or text. I think texting's to much to do when you should watch the road! I've answered calls during driving, if the calls long I pull off the road or just tell them I'll call you back later!  :o

I try to only pay attention to driving so I have my cell on low volume. I am afraid of texting while driving, its dangerous. If my cell ringing like nuts I will answer, thinking of emergency reasons only.

Yeah, it pisses me off when someone is changing lanes and almost hits me because their texting or on their phone, and they just keep  on going, even if you honk your horn. It's disrespectful, rude and dangerous, because I have my child with me in the car, do ya think they care about that, let alone their own passengers?? Of course not. Only when something horrible happens it seems that people pay attention, and that's sad!!!

I have texted. Really bad to do, and I almost went off the road. I talk on my cell driving on speakerphone. Not smart either.

Neither!!! That is too dangerous and anyways I couldn't even dare to try to that with a toddler in the back seat!  :o

I get so angry when I see someone talking on the phone or texting while driving it makes me what to roll down the window and yell at them to STOP!!  :BangHead:

Why would anybody do either?  :BangHead: That is a very dangerous thing to do, if you don't pay attention on the road you can create an avoidable accident. Anybody that calls can leave a voicemail that I can listen to or text can wait for me to respond as soon as I get to my destination.

I try not to, and usually I don't, but sometimes I have to take a call while I'm driving in which case I make the call as brief as possible. If I think I'm going to need to contact someone while I'm on the road, I try to get my calls and texts taken care of before I even get in the car.

I will text when there is minimal traffic or if I am stuck in a traffic jam.  Usually I talk on my phone because I have a blue tooth speaker that picks up my calls while I am driving so that I don't have to fddle with any gadgets.  I see people fiddling with their phones all of the time.  Ninety percent of the bad driving that I see occurs with people who have a phone in their hand.  My current job just awarded the staff with public transportation passes which allows us to use any mode (buses, shuttles, light rail/trains) for free and I am absolutely loving it because I have eighty more minutes per day with which to do things just for myself.

I only text when at stop signs, if that at all. I do talk on the phone quite a bit when I am driving if there is not a lot of traffic. I live in a very small town, and there is rarely any traffic if any at all, so I do not see any harm in talking on the phone. If there is anything around where I need to pay more attention, I'll hang up.
