I hate it when Peter Aaron texts me while he is driving. I usually try not to respond so he doesn't kill himself or someone else.

i read them while driving, respond when stopped

8/24/2012 4:51:41 PM

I do it all the time, driving isn't that hard.

I'll read a text while driving, sometimes. Send? Maybe at a stoplight. More likely to just ignore.

I'm a scary enough driver with my eyes on the road.

8/24/2012 11:13:44 PM

I've sent texts while driving my motorcycle before

8/25/2012 3:57:49 AM

I'm more concerned about my kids causing me to have an accident than I am my cell phone. A bunch of kids in the back seat is the epitome of distracted driving.

8/25/2012 8:45:58 AM

Like many people I read while driving and try to only respond when stopped or if it's necessary to respond then either call or do voice-to-text. A girl from back home (one of my old friend's little sisters) was texting and driving, ran a redlight and ran over a motorcyclist and killed him. We don't know for sure if she was texting, the reports only mentioned that she "looked down for just a moment".....one can assume it was probably texting. So sad and soooooo scary.

8/25/2012 10:57:22 AM

occasionally, but I use the voice to text feature on my phone if I'm going to do so while driving.

8/25/2012 12:50:39 PM

So you are all the assholes.
I really need to drive a piece of shit car so I can stop short and have your stupid texting ass hit me.
You fuckers are worse than drunk drivers drifting in and out of your lane.
You are the fuckers I have to honk at to get them to go at a green light.
You are the fuckers that drive too slow in the left lane... Hell any lane.
You stupid, shitty little texts are not worth anyone else's life.
But you won't stop. You think you are the best text driver out there and its all the other text drivers that suck and will kill someone. Well you are wrong.
I fucking hate texting drivers.

ASSHOLES!

No.

And I dislike riding with people who do. We'll be thirty seconds away from our destination, and somebody'll just full on take their eyes off the road and hands off the wheel to send some pointless message: "We're almost there. See you soon!"

8/25/2012 10:21:00 PM

so when they start going after senders of texts i guess amber alert is going to get their shit sued in.

8/29/2013 8:31:20 PM

Of course I do

8/29/2013 8:49:48 PM

I do when I'm driving in the middle of nowhere and I know the roads and no one is around. driving isn't hard.

8/29/2013 9:40:02 PM

you'd be better off wearing an "I'm a gigantic fucking idiot" shirt

I wouldn't judge you as harshly

8/29/2013 10:20:21 PM

I usually have my phone in my hand and my netbook in my lap

8/29/2013 11:14:22 PM

just to clarify, I live in the middle of nowhere and might pass 5 cars in 20 miles when driving on the main road. plus I can Swype without looking.

I don't text when I'm near actual civilization. Also my driving is much less affected by texting than by talking on the phone.

8/30/2013 12:02:47 PM

you're still taking chances with your own life and those of others, no matter how you try to justify the risks to yourself.

I use the voice to text feature on my phone while driving if there is something important I need to send otherwise Ill just wait till I get home or a stoplight

8/30/2013 3:26:15 PM

its easy to text while driving. just look at the road after each letter.

8/30/2013 3:31:02 PM

nope.

8/30/2013 7:04:08 PM

I have a resistive touch screen, so it's pretty much out of the question.

8/30/2013 7:55:45 PM

I recently switched from Blackberry to iPhone after over three years with the keyboard, and my texting skills are for shit on the touch-screen right now. I couldn't TWD if I wanted to. I text less, call more, and until I can put a Bluetooth system in the car I have a wired earpiece I use for the time being (also installed at a safe time, like before I leave my garage, and only if I really need it).

As for responding to a text, I wait til I'm at a red light and write "driving" as my response. On the iPhone it comes out as "drovimg" more often than not (I turned auto-correct off, but spell-check is on) and the recipient will just have to deal with that. When I've arrived at my destination, the conversation will continue.

I used to text and drive all the time with a dumb phone - I could keep my eyes on the road and just type through feel

9/20/2013 4:08:12 PM

The Amish one, oh man. . .

9/21/2013 6:50:58 PM

Yes. I have watched youtube videos while driving also. Not proud of that, just confessing.
