Printablesextonseven said: NDRU said: exactly, it's very dangerous, but how many people have driven drunk? I realized the other day that looking for parking in San Francisco is like driving drunk. Only about 5% of my mind is driving, the rest is looking for a space. It's easy to judge, but we're all guilty at times. I've driven onto the freeway while holding a quarter pounder, steering with my knees so I could shift gears. What I don't get is how people actually DO it. When eating or talking on your cell phone while driving, your eyes are still on the road, right? How do you text and drive if you're looking at your cellphone all the time? I've seen it done, and you hold the phone at the top of your steering wheel, so you can glance back & forth from the road to the phone, sort of like looking in the rear view or at your speedometer My Legacy

and you're right, your eyes are on the road while eating...until mustard drips on your new shirt...  That's why I don't eat in my car either. | |

unfortunately, you're right... people take the whole activity of driving way too lightly...we're bombarded by distractions as drivers...it could be roadside billboards, other drivers, car stereos, cell phones, etc...in my opinion, one isn't any worse than the other... | |

texting while driving should have been illegal before driving while talking on the cell phone. I think it's cause texting is the thing now.. where as probably 5 years ago it wasn't .. people did it, but it's like now it's an overload... everybody is doing it.. | |

It's also because it almost goes without saying. Like there's probably no law against driving while sitting backwards in your seat, but that seems dangerous. Also I don't see many people text while they drive, but I've nearly been hit by someone on their phone numerous times. My Legacy

Smooches;) Best thing you can do is learn from this. Well, we all know it's a bad thing to do, but I doesn't mean that I won't open a text or reply because I read this story. I think most people think that it would never happen to them. I will say this though: I usually wait until I'm stopped at a redlight to reply But I will read a text while driving. Still bad.

People who use their phone or text while driving are self-important assholes.
But, to be fair, the pills probably had more to do with this accident than whatever oh-so-important lulz he was sending to his friends. "A Watcher scoffs at gravity!" | |

I'll be honest, I'm completely terrified of traffic and the idea of driving, much for these reasons. "A Watcher scoffs at gravity!" | |

Sounds to me like this guy is just a first-class jackass no matter how you slice it. "A Watcher scoffs at gravity!" | |

not to mention the Vicodin & Xanax Uh, yeah, that's what I was thinking. I'm pretty sure that had more to do with it than actually texting.  nWo: bboy87 - Timmy84 - LittleBlueCorvette - MuthaFunka - phunkdaddy - Christopher
