Am I the only one that thinks this is absolutely crazy? Its bad enough that people cause accidents by talking on their cell phones while driving. Now you have people texting while they are driving down the road. Now I know they are not looking at the road if they are looking at their cell phone. Its crazy!

I do not think anyone would care if there were no consequences, but people texting have caused some horrific accidents around here. Cell phones are bad enough but nobody can give their undivided attention to traffic while texting. I would not care if they wipe themselves out with their foolishness, but they might also take out me or my family.

I am sory I am the one of drivers you mentioned. though I realize it's extremely dangerous and I seldom do that. I often look down to do the similar thing when I need to open the navigation software on my cellphone, which is very dangerous too. I will be careful and never do it again. thanks the warning from you, happy mylotting.

hey i am against texting while driving.. well texting is a kind of job done by people when there is some topic to discuss which is not that important. so if there is a real important issue one would rather call u. so if u value a message too much then even value ur valueless life... jus dont do crazy things tat can bring others into trouble...

Hi there Marcia!
I am with you. I am against texting while driving and even texting while walking. It can cause accident and if it's really important, you have to stop somewhere where you can't get on the way of others, if in a vehicle, park it for a while then do your texting.
