ftr, ass, I don't text with her in the car

I do it all the time. Predicative text made it much easier.

I believe it's wrong and I must quit it.

Oh, that's good to know, no need to worry about anyone else who happens to have kids in their car when you're driving while distracted.

My BT is just about my favorite possession. I'm getting quickly to 'crazy person' status, walking around talking to friends and family no matter what I'm doing. Just a tap to the ear, 'Call mom, home' voila someone to chat with during drive time.

I definitely do not txt while driving. Ever since I have had my new car with Bluetooth I am a firm believer in hands free for even phone calls. A matter of fact I am getting one of these, Motorola T505 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16875982146 for my wife's car.

no.... interesting Gaz option.

I'll text when I'm at a stop light, rarely when I'm driving.

I know someone who does constantly, and she's never been in a wreck... she has a Sidekick and can type like 80 wpm on it, and doesn't do it in traffic or on the highway (much ;) ).

I think if you aren't glaring at your cellphone while texting, or steering with your knees because you have to use both hands, it's not much different than changing a CD or glancing at someone you're talking to.

I think some people's brains are wired to multitask and other people's are not... Those who don't pay enough attention while driving are going to be at a higher risk of being involved in an accident, regardless of what they're doing. Putting a cell phone in their hand just gives people an object to point to when they get into a wreck, instead of simply saying "they weren't paying attention".

They get into wrecks because they're changing a CD or talking to someone in the backseat or reaching for a french fry or talking on the phone or texting. I've done all of those things, as I'm sure many people do, and I've never been involved in a wreck.

The whole issue is overblown, IMO. If you aren't devoting enough attention to driving while texting, you probably weren't devoting enough attention to driving before texting.

I do this very rarely and only if im stuck in traffic and not actually driving, like after games when the parking lot is gridlocked or an interstate backup. Though i wonder what causes those gridlocks and backups lol.

I txt all the way back when I am doing my drive of shame from st joseph to KC. I got bitches to hit up, homies to get at, not screw around with just driving

But I'm multi-talented. :)


That is not the point...that stuff is ok, its TEXTING that is the debbil now.

Sometimes the driving distracts me from my texting.

Bugeater 02-09-2009 11:13 AM

FYI, I don't drive distracted, Jilly. I realize I have a responsibility to myself and others when I'm on the road.
