Driving and cell phones don't mix!

i have meet quite many drivers who do this. it is really annoying and when you tell them to concentrate on the road they will just either disregard or shout at you. duh....

Here in the state of Oregon, we can't drive and talk on our cell phones at the same time, unless we use bluetooth. I am all for that, as it is safer that way, however, it is still better not to talk at all on the cell phone while driving. I don't usually get calls while I am driving, but if it does ring and I don't have my bluetooth ready, then, I will just let it ring, and call the person back when I get to where I am going. Some people can be so stupid to text while driving which is much worse. I would never ever do that, as that is just to dangerous, and a person is just asking for it when they do. I don't text anyway, so that will never happen while I am driving. Now if I am a passenger that is different, but not while driving. Take care, and have a very good day.

Those of us who have been talking on the phone for years while driving and haven't had anything amiss happen continue to try and pretend you aren't flipping us off and ranting about us wherever you find an opportunity. Don't be so self righteous, there are thousands, probably MILLIONS of people who still talk and drive - don't you talk to your passengers while you drive? Have you heard of bluetooth or headsets.. or speaker? Sometimes I can just sit there in silence and try to ignore all the harsh judgements people make, other times, well... it's like the people who scream and rant about people who smoke.

When you're behind the wheel of a two ton vehicle then you should know better than to be distracted all the time. Safety first! I don't care how good of a multi-tasker you think you are... you shouldn't talk or text and drive at the same time! I have a friend who talks on the phone all the time while she drives and it makes me really really nervous! I tell her I worry about her but she blows me off with the "good multi-tasker" excuse.

Driving and cellphones are a dangerous combination. too much can go wrong when you are distracted by a cell phone. It only takes a moment to change your life. if you need to use your cell phone, it is wiser not to be the driver. We will all live longer lives for it.

yes, i think so.. i was almost hit by a motorcycle when the driver talking on the phone.. i hope the goverment can make a rules about this driving and phone things..

It is very dangerous to talk on the phone while driving. I have seen many times drivers doing so while I was in their car or bus. I don't like seeing them this way, but I feel embarrassed telling the driver not to. I do wish that everyone would have a good sense of security first while driving in a car or bus. Thank you for the discussion. Take care.

I know a lady that got a $60 dollar ticket here in colorado for texting and driving. Your right it is getting more and more serious out there. I think since there's so many that are doing it, you just need to look out more. Let them get the tickets for something so dumb. I mean really can you imagine when you get pulled over for it. I'd be pissed but yet you would no not to be so naive either.

This seems to be a very urgent problem we are having today. Everyone is using cell phones. Oprah, I think, has made people think a bit with her petition to no cell phone use while driving. We hear about accidents all the time involving cell phones. My husband drives a truck into Quebec province, Canada everyday....and I know there they aren't allowed to be on cell phones at all....not even allowed to use head phones. i thin k more provinces and states should adopt this rule as well....it will save many, many lives.

Texting or making calls with handset is one common causes of road accident these days. Thu you are too careful with your driving whilst the other driver behind or in the other lane is not careful,it will still cause the accident. I hope every drivers will be responsible for their life,and the other people lives too. Have a great weekend ahead
