gotta love the music!
Hello all, i was watching the news last night and saw a story where this teenager was texting and driving and got into a serious accident cause she wasnt paying attention to the road. she has 3 broken ribs and broke her arm in 2 different places. if that wasnt bad enough, about a year ago, there was this 17 year old kid that was texting and driving and hit a guy on a bicycle and killed him!!!! that is a terrible thing that he will have to live with for the rest of his life.... i couldn't imagine going through that. i hate when my mom texts and drives, i finally told her that when im in the car with her, to let me text for her.

i hate texting in general.... the reason is this..... If you have something so important to tell me... why not just call? i HATE texting with a passion.
 
Where I live, it's illegal to use a handheld device while driving, for the reasons you just mentioned. I miss talking on the phone and driving (I used to get a lot accomplished that way), but I will admit there were a few times when my focus was totally not where it should have been.

You have a bluetooth headset, can't you use that? Or do you have a non-bluetooth phone?

We have the same laws here.
It's easy enough to be sidetracked for a second and have an accident, and I'll admit to checking my phone when driving on a straight quiet road before, and each time I'd glance up, the car would have shifted to the left or right a little too much.

Honestly, I've never really looked into it. That would definitely be a solution, you are right about that. I don't really mind the law though. Realistically I didn't get that much accomplished while driving. It was just convenient more than anything, and I don't think I need the extra distraction. I get lost in my own thoughts enough as is. :lol

yes that law also came into effect to here where i live. you cant talk on the phone or text unless you are using a hands-free device! and, in my opinion, certain people shouldn't be able to use that either.

I definitely agree. I don't know how many times I've had near misses with people who were clearly talking on hands-free devices.
