I don't text or use a cell for calls while driving. In Los Angeles in particular and Southern California in general, it is a fool's move to do so; one must be alert to avoid all the morons who do use cells/text while driving. The drivers here are among the worst I have ever seen when they aren't distracted, so you really have to be sharp to avoid their carelessness. Th same apllies to pedestrians; the number of people who walk quickly down the sidewalks while immeresed in their cells, not lookin up or aware, is amazing...
