Texting and driving

[Sil80_D]

i only glance at texts at high speeds to see if it's important and only type at red lights. Calls also really bug me while I'm driving stick so i never pick up... well... unless on highways where speeds are constant

Never, I hate using text messages though.

text, eat a burger, and talk to my passenger all while turning left and accelerating from a standstill... while driving stick... and getting road head

so obviously ur female companion doesnt have anything in her mouth? lol

anyways, txting on the blackberry was a piece of cake, i wouldnt even have to look at the keys. The iphone on the other hand is impossible so i reply to the urgent txts right away the others wait for a red light or so.

Also seems like a ton of ppl lately dont know how to drive and talk at the same time, pull over u fucks.

At highway speeds, each second is the same as a football field. Feel lucky?

When I see someone texting or using a phone (non highway), I like to snuggle close, still on my side of the white line. Need a paint touch up on the one side, one day this will work.

Do it all the time, spend anywhere from 4-8 hours a day driving and I recieve about 30 e-mail a day. Also, every person I work with hates making calls so we only communicate via bbm.

I think I have it down to a science. Rest my elbows on the steering wheel so I can see the road while writing super long texts or emails.

This!!!

When i had my blackberry I could text no problem while driving, I would never have to look at the keys, but with the iPhone it is a huge pain in the ass so I don't do it as much...

Sure, if the highway speed is 330 km/h.

To be EXACT, you are travelling 30.6 m/s
or 33.42 yards/s. or 1/3 of a football field a second. at 110 km/h

Jesus, I can't believe so many people text while driving. Thats just incredibly reckless imo. Seriously guys, increases your chance of an accident 23 fold! It can be more dangerous than being "legally drunk" and driving.

Seriously, how many texts have you guys recieved where you went, "fuck, good thing I responded that in time or I/they would have been fucking owned"?

I think stopped at a light is "ok", and I do sometimes, but generally just read quickly. I nearly got owned by a cement truck while stopped at a stop light I think its pretty important to keep alert when stopped.

Talking and driving is a different matter all together, but in my eyes, a significantly lesser evil.

This is a great test for anyone more interested.

But like anything, it takes a few innocent people to die until people realize. I always think about what I would say/do and how I would feel if I killed someone because of my obvious carelessness.

I don't mean to sound like a mom, but I am just a bit surprised.

do it all day everyday

all day everyday

If I absolutely need to, then only while I'm waiting at a red light. Otherwise, no.

[max_boost]

I do but only if it is safe to do so.

Only needed to read the first page of this thread to confirm, for the millionth time, how pathetic most of you are ... Seriously ... Texting and driving? How many of you girls are still in puberty? Or maybe none of you can afford a hands-free device with your allowance?

just because nobody texts you doesn't mean some of us aren't getting a couple hundred texts a day... Learn some skills...

The few times I have, I totally realize my eyes are not on the road. Yes, I can hold it up, but my eyes focus on the phone instead of the road. I realize it is dangerous, and have tried to curb my doing so... pretty successful up to this point too.

Same. I've caught myself doing it and not remembering the last kilometer or so of road. It's something I try and shake and unless it's important, I just wait until I'm stopped.

Do it everyday...
