    Stopped at a red light, or on deerfoot at 140km/h in the rain, tailgating a retard with his hazard lights on.

    Lights, and slow slow speeds. Not just text, but talking on cell as well. I'm fully capable of doing both at high speeds, I just choose to be on the safe side.

    They're certainly big, but I don't know if they are the BEST I've tasted.

    I text at red lights and open highway.

    Phone calls through bluetooth.

    I wish my voice-texting would work!

    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.

    Must stop doing this...but when your friends like to text and change plans at the last minute, it's hard not to respond.
