Last week one day ,on my way i was driving back to my home, my mobile phone was ring, so i pick up and answered it without any thought, but this action is seen by the police, he opened me a traffice ticket. It was really not a lucky day. Now when i driving, i ignore my phone no matter how it rings. I know that is dangerous. Do you have this experience? Have you ever answered your mobile phone while you are driving? Would you like share with us? happy mylotting!

I hate those people who are talking to mobile phone while they are driving. They often sway from left to right while doing that.

I do not drive but in some parts it is also ilegal to walk and talk on the cell at the same time, especially when crossing a street. I believe that having a cell phone does not mean you have to answer it all the time, all the cell plans that I know come with a free voicemail service. I will say if you can't help yourself, turn it off and let voicemail do the work for you.

i've done this before. but i'll only pick up if i know who the caller is and if i want to talk to that person. if i don't want to talk to that person then i'll just ignore it. but if i do talk on the phone will driving, i'll be sure to still keep my eyes on the road and keep the conversation very brief

That's why I use bluetooth set while I'm driving... I know phone conversation can take your attention away from driving so I try to keep the conversation as short as possible if I'm driving...

I will only use it in handsfree mode so that both hands are on the wheel. The it is no different than talking to another passenger in the car. W/o wireless I never answer it.

as far as I can think of, i don't think I have ever answered my phone when driving but also I don't think it has rang during that time either.
