I saw someone just do it on the road. This guy was driving a motorcycle and with his hands holding the handles of the motorcycle, he was using his mouth to hold his cellphone. Half of the cellphone is in his mouth it is so scary to watch because what if all of a sudden his motorcycle is bumped or bumps into something, there is big danger of him swallowing the phone or maybe getting choked for there is big chance that the phone would get stuck in his throat. What was he thinking? Was there a very important call or text he didn't want to miss? Or was it the safest place to put his cellphone while he is driving because phones could easily fall from one's pocket. Have you done this before?

hi Cutie18f! that was a big LOL from me!
i have some important questions to understand further about this:
1) is his cellphone a smartphone type, like samsung galaxy note 5.5"?
that would be too cool to see half of it in his mouth!
2) is he talking on the cellphone too while riding his motorcycle?
that would be too funny to see a person talking with half of the cellphone inside his mouth!
back to your question, NO, i never done this before and i don't think i would try it, even though it seems too cool and too funny for me.

hi Cutie18f, actually i was just kidding. samsung galaxy note 2 is actually a smartphone with a 5.5" screen size, which is very big and impossible for a normal people to put half of it in the mouth.
hmm... or maybe he is eating something that looks like a cellphone?

Hi!
He must have been crazy, careless and irresponsible guy that is why he was holding the cell phone in his mouth.
May be he was hungry and want to have something in his mouth ...... Lol!
I ignore the calls while driving a 2 wheeler. My life is more important than any call. I just can not think of holding the cell phone in my mouth, while driving.

It is not ever recommended to use mobile while driving a 4 wheeled vehicle , how much more with a 2 wheeled motorcycle ? He is just killing himself slowly. I don't know why some people are so irresponsible , not thinking that they are causing problem not only to themselves and their family but also to other people . Come to think , what if he will bump in some cars ahead of him , a big trouble he give now to other people . Never mind if he commits an accident and only himself got injured that's a punishment for him but because he is irresponsible , others were injured also and properties destroyed then he deserve to be condemned and has to pay for all damages, but he can no longer pay that emotional trauma he gives to the victims. Driving is never fun especially that 2 wheeled vehicle , never drink and text when you are in motion , we got one life only , let us handle it with care.

I would never do this. Not sure if it will sting your tongue or not. I used to put my tongue on a 9 volt battery and it would sting. That was a weird feeling.

People who ride motorcycles for the most part are kind of rebels anyway, so it's no surprise that this person would do this.

What the points he do that? He just risking his life for using a cellphone while riding a bike. He can easily caught in accident. But I see this kind of practice is done by people that has less concern with their own safety and life. While driving or biking, better to concentrate with the road and traffic cause accident could happen in any time.

I have held my cellphone in my mouth but never because of driving. That is really scary, we can never tell when an accident would come. Anyway, I did put my phone on my mouth I think a couple of times already, that was because both my hands are holding something else and I don't have a pocket to put my phone into. That was the safest place I could think of of where to put my phone during those times. But, I am always careful so that I won't swallow it or fall it on the ground.

That's just crazy. he may have a reason for doing so, which we don't know. But you're right, its a hazard, plus the phone sure is dirty.

No way. It's really dangerous. What if he concentrates on holding the phone too much, and then knocking something... the least bad that could happen is the cellphone knocking out all his teeth and tearing up his lips... (and he could even die or be paralysed and stuff). Also, if he can't keep the cellphone anywhere, he should invest in a proper bag.

That's crazy and insanely dangerous. I would never do something like that. I would put it in my body bag or my pocket at least. What is he thinking? I hope the authorities apprehend him (if ever there are some in the area). He is not only putting his own self at risk, but those who are out on the road as well with him, whether they're pedestrians or other drivers. Putting the cellphone in his mouth like that can distract him while driving. And a moment's distraction can cause accidents.

I have put my cellphone in my mouth but not while I'm driving a motorcycle. How come that man put his phone on his mouth while driving? Is he that poor that he didn't buy some pants with pockets? Is he that forgetful that he forgets to put it on a safe place instead of his mouth? Or he can just put it under his pants in a half way while he is driving, I think it is safe too. But anyway, we don't really know what was he thinking then.
I have done this while I was in the bathroom.

This is nothing I would do. Cell phones should be put away when driving a motorcycle. You couldn't talk on a phone, with the wind hitting you anyway. It was a stupid and very unsafe thing to do.

It is hard to imagine to hold a cell phone with the mouth. I have never done so, nor will I do so. It is very dangerous for this man with his cell phone half in his mouth. If it so happens that he has a fall, I am afraid that something severe might happen. Better careful than not. Thanks for the sharing, Cutie. Have a good day.

It's not an appropriate and safe thing to do. Specially that he's driving, we don't know what will happen when we are driving, there would be a tendency that he might swallow the phone because of what he's doing. Another thing is that, whether we like it or not our phone is dirty so we should not put it into our mouth. I will never do this one.

How come people do like this holding the cell in his mouth and driving? Might be he would have a call and instead of keeping in the pocket held it in his mouth for few kilometers.But using cell phone while driving is very dangerous not only to him but also to others.And some people will be talking in cell while driving i have seen such people too.Those should be handled by Police to punish them while using the cell during driving.
