Do you talk/listen on your cell phone while you drive? Do you think it is safe?

I usually either pull over and stop somewhere like in a parking lot, if I can, or I just wait and call back whoever called me. If I'm at a stoplight, I can answer, but you're right, I don't believe it's safe, and in many places it's illegal to talk on a cell phone while driving. I have seen things that are much more dangerous while driving, like looking in the rear view mirror to apply makeup while driving down a busy highway, or reading a map, and only glancing up for a second.

I don't have a cell phone, but I have definite opinions. My sister and father, from my observations, can drive while talking on the cell phone, and pay attention to everything else around them (mostly, although we never concentrate as well unless we are off the phone), while my mother is, well, let's just say she is forbidden to use her phone while she is driving. My dad begged her not to, and my sister and I when we are with her, make sure she doesn't try to use it. That sounds extreme, but I can't even tell you how much trouble she has almost got into because of her cell phone while driving.

well...i try to not to talk but...if its urgent then....i first lower the speed then....move to some side...and then only answer the phone...thats my rule....

With all the stuff going on on the road, I think cell phones are a distraction. It has been show in some studies, that cell phones lead to accidents. I think it would be better and safer if we all shut up and drive.

I don't use my cellphone when I'm driving. I can't concentrate. So if anyone ever calls while I'm driving, I would ask them to call back later, or if it's really important, i would stop and park at the side for a few minutes to take the call.

Listening music and driving is a common practice,but while talking on a cellphone and driving may be hazardous as it demands more attention from the traffic to the person I am talking to.

well, that's a really bad habit. i try not to do that. if someone call me when i drive, i will ask my friend or anybody in the car to answer.

I don't do much driving now, but the time I was driving, I always had my cell phone on silent mode and never answered any calls. I don't think its safe do drive while talking on the cellphone, it ruins concentration on the roads and could cause accidents along the way. its just too irresponsible to keep talking on your cellphone while driving.
