texting while driving....

I have seen stories on the news that show interviews with people who use cell phones almost constantly. They claim you "have to answer alerts right away". Then there are those who think they are invincible, that they can handle texting/talking when driving, and don't see a problem with that. You combine those two factors, and add in a good dose of multitasking, (try to find a job description that does not include multitasking in the description) and you have a recipe for disaster. Some people just don't care, they think of themselves and only themselves. Unfortunately we will always have people like that, and the cell phone is just the latest distraction that they can use. Drinking and driving is a bad thing, but people still do it, and many arrested for the offense are not first-time offenders, and many already have their driver's license suspended or revoked. Personally I do not do it; I even hate to use the phone at all while driving. I just feel I am not at my best performance when I am driving and using a phone. I will not initiate calls when driving, and if anyone calls while I am driving, I generally ignore the call. Not that many people call me on my cell anyway as I don't give that number out except for family and a very few select friends. I still have my hardline phones at home, there is really nothing short of a family emergency that I would need immediate notification of. That's the way it was 20 years ago, if you wanted to call someone, and they were not home, you left a message, I personally still (and always will) live that way.

It definitely is not safe at all to text and drive. I, for one, would never do that. If my son is sitting next to me, I would get him to read me the message and get him to reply for me as well. Other than that, the messenger would have to wait until I reach my destination.

It's the innocent bystander or the passer by who gets killed that I most feel sorry for, they could be going about their every day life, minding their own business and suddenly bam, their life is taken due to a careless driver. It's a bit like those that choose to drink and drive, it's always someone innocent who gets killed because of the drunks erratic driving, it's selfish and it's also very very dangerous. Trouble is policing the no texting whilst driving rule is very difficult to do. And that's why people think they can get away with it... that is, until it's too late!

Here it doesn't allow to make a call or pick up a call when you are driving. Otherwise it will be punished. I like this new rule because it is not only good for the drivers, but also the passengers and other people. Being careful is always right. Some people think they drive well and have enough experience. They don't think it is a big deal to use the cellphone when they are driving. This is wrong because nobody can be so lucky all the time. We can't afford any accidents. I hope more people will realize to it.

I have never done texting while driving, i personally think it is a very dangerous action a driver can possibly do to himself and other people, so i have never try that in my entire driving experience of close to 30 years on the road. I think most of the drivers who text while driving is of no concern of another human's life on the street, that is why he/she likes to text and drive at the same time. Whether some like to texting while driving or not, I think it is mainly depend on how seriously the driver value the life of other people on the street, and decisive he want to stop unwanted accident.

Texting or calling are the safe games only when you are not driving. While driving, if you are doing any of these, there is nothing more dangerous then it. It make you not just risking your own life but also others life as well. You may have the right to do whatever you want with your life but nobody gives you the right to play or to risk others life. So, No texting/calling while driving

excuse me for the term.. but I think it is just "stup!d". I hate to see people texting while driving... would you believe in in Motorbikes? some people can do that... I mean it is just so ... irresponsible, for the rider, the biker, the other people that he may be part of his irresponsibility. "he" sorry to use the "he" but most of the time I see "he" than "she"
