Do you text while you drive?

[Tchocky]

I'm a bloody awful driver. The texts stay unanswered.

I don't text while driving, and don't use a cell phone in the car.

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...

I'm the same as Tchocky. If I get a text, I won't even try to look at it. If I'm expecting a text, then I'll pull over and stop to look. For regular phone calls, I have a blue tooth ear piece. Even then, if it something that I need to really pay attention to, I'll pull over.

It is supposedly illegal here to text or talk while drive, though I see people doing it all the time. I see seatbelts enforced more than people jabbering on cell phones or texting while driving.

I even see cops doing it, as they pass me on the parkway going at least 90 MPH.

(mind you, I am going at least 75, 10 mph over the limit, so I keep cool about it )

Laws are a joke, only enforced when it becomes a political /media hot issue.

Last wreck I was in a woman side swiped me while she was texting...came right through the intersection..

Apparently the following was written outside a church:

Honk if you love Jesus.
Text while driving if you want to meet him.

I don't text and drive. It isn't worth it.

The few friends I have that text me understand. None of us text and drive. What I honestly hate is how boy's insurance is higher than girl's insurance...but 95% of the wrecks I hear about are girls.

Just last week, my best friend lost a good friend in a horrible car wreck not 20 minutes from where I live. It was the night before Prom at their school and these two girls were driving to town. They hit a jackknifed semi right as they topped a hill. A guy I know who saw the wreck says that they hit it so hard that the trailer was almost disconnected from the truck. One girl was killed on impact and the other one was in ICU as of a few days ago. I haven't heard anything on her condition... They just started an investigation on it. I didn't know the girls personally, but it took a toll on my friend here.

He's been through several wrecks. He's lost like 3 family members plus this girl in car wrecks. I feel sorry for him. Once is enough...this was number 4....
