Sad but true, such bad habit is quite common.

geeze, i see az drivers doing stupid stuff like that all the time. i think it's bad enough talking on the cell phone and driving, so i'm getting my bf's mother a hands-free setup because she makes me VERY nervous when she drives. she uses her drive time to make all her telephone calls. add to this that she's the kinda talker who uses hand gestures when she talks and you might get the picture.
i think phone usage while driving should be outlawed. dunno why sheriff joe hasn't jumped on the bandwagon for this issue.

I quite regularly text while driving (depending on where I'm driving of course). Predictive text means you can text without looking at the screen and therefore have full concentration on road.

I've texted whilst waiting at a red light, but never texted while moving.
I did though, today actually, drive whilst eating a sandwich. But it was a Subway one, and they are *so* nice I should be allowed to [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Hahaha! Aye I knew someone would say full concetration blah, but I don't tend to text in the middle of union street! I've cut down and only generally text in country areas / out of town.
Anyways, chances are if I hit you you wouldn't be able to print this out x
