But if they could just talk and drive like they used to be able to they wouldn't be forced to text and drive to comply with the law, and government wouldn't have to make ads against texting and driving to limit their liability with the no talking on phones in cars made before 2004 laws, which unfairly targets poor people and classic car enthusiasts.

I was sitting in the back of a cop car on the interstate and the cop was texting. I looked out the window in disgust and the asian man in the large SUV one lane over was also texting.

Talking on the phone while driving also causes accidents.

Incidentally the hands free stuff is just as dangerous, it's the distraction not the mere act of holding something against your ear.

One day, this team will play to their expectations...

Just not this year..

There is little that pisses me off more than when my kids are playing in the front yard and I see drivers zooming down our completely residential, buried in a neighborhood street, texting while driving. If, even though they have been told every day not to go into the street, my kids suddenly went into the street to chase a ball or whatever, that rear end in a top hat who was too busy looking at his/her phone would kill them.

Nobody is so loving important that they can't wait to touch their phone until they arrive at their destination. Or, if it's some sort of emergency, a loving red light. Put the loving phone down, you're not 'good' at texting while driving, everyone around you sees you doing it, you aren't sneakily texting while driving because you hold the phone below the level of your window. Grow up and stop being a child.

I text while driving because I am a stupid gay baby. I cannot wait another 15 minutes to interact with my attention-surrogate machine because I am a thoroughly defective human being. I can't fathom why it is that anyone thinks it's a problem. I mean, I'm just driving around in a 3,000 pound battering ram with 80 pounds of explosive liquid on board. Part of me realizes that texting while driving is idiotic, yet the idea of "being told what to do" disgusts me. Therefore, I have to prove to the world (and myself, although I can't admit that part to myself) what an extraordinary human being I am. I'm going to take my attention off my rolling bomb and update my friend on something so incredibly trivial that no one in his or her right mind would put themselves or others in danger in order to communicate it in the most optically distracting way possible. You see, I literally can't perceive that it's dangerous to do that. I am such a self-absorbed twat that I find it totally cool to deprive myself and everyone around me of what little safety margin we have on the road because I can't stand not getting instant satisfaction from my shiny object. This is the decision I make every single time I get on the road.

In short, gently caress you. I'm an American, goddamnit. An American.

Sticking it to THE MAN, assuming THE MAN is an innocent casual dining restaurant.
My ex did, and just about everything else you do on the phone as she drove like the goddamn twisted metal clown down the road. It scares the poo poo out of me to think of how many others are out there doing the same thing. OMG my friend just sent me this hilarious video I have to watch it no- boom I'm dead.

i can play/pause and skip tracks on my phone without turning the screen on. switching playlists or albums is for red lights only. literally everything else can wait. gently caress everyone going 5 under so they can text, it's obvious as gently caress and i hope they all die together some day.

I found that I became much less accepting of people texting and driving after I had kids. Before that, it didn't really bother me so much nor did I pay attention to it as much. Also for the past 2 years, my commute to/from work has unfortunately been 50 miles round-trip, giving me plenty of time to observe people texting while driving.

They're all hopelessly retarded, and technology has only made it worse. Maybe some time soon Google will actually release a functional self driving car and remove the most dangerous part about driving.

I was involved with a hit and run. I was on my bicycle, the other person was in a minivan. I can only assume they didnt see a bright neon green mass on the right side of the road. I still ride a lot and gently remind most drivers to put that poo poo away.

I once rode alongside a mom texting and I assume her two boys in a convertible. I yelled to her "You have to kids in the car for Christ's sake!" No retort, just when I saw her again, no phone in sight.

Some gawky teenager was on his phone and just about plowed into my work vehicle, with someone from corporate in my passenger seat. When we got to the red light, we both were motioning to him and yelling. He looks over and casually gets back to looking at his phone as the light turned green. Fucker.

DUNK A DILL PICKLE REALDO
absoluitely not, poo poo is dangerous as gently caress

was watching a texting driver going 60mph last night, he was swerving in and out of his lane constantly, just like he was drunk

in fact i thought he was drunk until i finally decided to pass him and saw the glow of his phone

if you're a dickhead who texts while driving, please, please don't. this is an earnest appeal.
