Do you use your phone while driving?

I am constantly on the phone in the car. I grew up doing it and unfortunately it is a bad habit that is hard to break, like biting your nails. In fact, I think that most of the time I am on the phone is when I am in the car. Its the only time I have to catch up with people while doing something else... seems unsafe now that I thinka about it. I see a lot of other people, now though, who pull over to the side of the road to talk on their phones. Even more people have those crazy head set things- take them off if you aren't on the phone, people! You aren't a customer service representative while you're shopping at the mall.

Here in Europe, it is not allowed to use your cellphone while you are driving. if the police catch you, you need to pay a lot for this. So better not to use it or just pull over beside the road if there is a phone call in the cellular.

Actually,using cell phone while driving is not legal in China and maybe some other countries.As it can cause serious accidents.No matter what we are doing,we should pay our full attention on it,especially when we are driving.We should be responsible for both our security and our family.

i had once used my cellfone while im driving, that i didnt know that i driving a little bit fast that i bumped into another car infront of me on my way to the hospital. my car's hood got folded, and whew i was so suprised and startled of what happened. luckily, i did not cause any harm to my self and to the other car's passengers. after that incident i vowed to myself never will i do it again. up to now i still use my celfone for sending a message and call. this incident reminds me always that dont use the phone will driving.

I often avoid talking on cell phone while driving.But if I think the call is important then only I receive the call.That also I stop the car and answer the call. Actually the driving rules here are very strict ur licence can be taken up by police if they found u talking while driving.

I have a mobile but do not drive the car.. But have seen many doing it. Worse still is riding a bike and talking over the mobile. I can see their necks bent and strain to hear the voice at the other end. Their head will be at an angle, they cannot even see the road properly. It is very dangerous to ride like that. Don't you all think so?

Sadly... yes I talk while driving... but funny... i think I concentrate more on driving when I am on the phone then when I am not... only because i know I have to pay attention...if I am not talking I feel I am looking for something else to do or fiddling with the radio or something else!

I have to admit that I do use my phone while I drive. I think its a bad habit, and when we drive we should keep our focus on driving. When I do talk on the phone, I try to keep it short and sweet. I know thats not good enough, and I should work on it more. Did you know that in many places it is becoming illegal to use your phone and drive at the same time.

Yes,I find myself using my phone while driving.I am getting better at not doing this.We should not do it,it is dangerous,I have found myself running of the road,as I was using my phone.So,I am trying to stop it before I wreck are cause some one else to wreck.

i am trying to not use mobile while driving, but sometimes it when it is important call i fogeting about secure driving and starting to talk. :)

In England they tightened up the law and now using cell phone while driving is severely punishable offense and affects one's insurance policy as well.

I prefer to park first and attend the pahone as its a safe for myself and all other traffic passing by.

Here in Chicago you can get a ticket for driving and talking on a cell-phone without a hands-free device. I use a hands-free earphone whenever possible for my phone usage in the car. Quite frankly the car is where I get the most done on the phone - it's not as difficult waiting on hold when yer driving then when you're sitting at work or at home with things to do. Btw, I my commute is 1 hour long- that's why I do alot of phone usage while driving. Tink

I use my cell phone while driving. I think if you are responsible enough to know when it is not appropriate to be distracted by a phone call and when you can safely focus on both that it should be just fine. It's a matter of knowing your limitations, if you driving is altered by talking on a cell phone, then don't do it or pull over. I knew a girl who would send text messages while she was driving and I thought that was horrid because she took her eyes off the road entirely. Priorities should be safety first, socializing later.

I do make, but more often I recieve calls. I keep them short, but I pretty much keep all my calls short anyway.

I think you should say drink driving. Driving while drinking water is not that dangerous.. provided you're stopping at the traffic lights. I dont have a vehicle, so I wont be in a position where I will drive while using the mobile phone but I have seen lots of people do that while I'm on a bus and looking out of the window. I have seen people sending sms while driving too. Its dangerous yeah... but people still do it.

yes,i do it,i think most people usually do it,sometimes it rings,you will take it,it's a bad habit.

This year i made a new years resolution to not talk on my phone while i wasa driving. It lasted about 2 weeks but i douse my phone alot less when im driving. I know i should stop but it is so inconvinent to pull over.

I know thats its a horrible habbit and that some day it will catch up to me but yes i do use my cell phone while driving. I dont usally do this, which is to say i try to avoid it when i can. I only really find myself talking on the phone when i see thats its one of my really close freinds or my work. Other than this my new years reolution was not to use my cell phone while i drive which i broke about three weeks later.

If there is another person in my car, I will ask him/her to answer the phone call. Safety is the most important thing.
