****Texting While Driving****

Okay, so I was watching the local news and they say that texting while driving is Worse that Drunk Driving.  I see people do this all the time and i want to jump out of my car a smack them....In California they banned driving with your cell phone, but did not ban texting?........Are you kidding me?  

What do you think should be done about this?

Here in Australia they have very strict rules about driving whilst on your cell phone.  Texting is a whole new concept and people should lose their licenses on the spot.  There was incident here in Melbounre in February where a 22 y.o. girl was sending a quick text to her friends - "Will b late".  She lost control of her care and killed one person and seriously injured another.  She was not seriously injured.  I see many people on their cell phone, surprising I would see more females.  It is just a matter of the police being in the right place at the right time to catch them.  WOW - I would have made a small fortune by now!!

I have never texted either.  I won't and I don't allow anyone to text me.  I tell everyone ..."If you text me. I wont read it, so dont' bother" and I wont.  He!! I don't even know how to....lol.  I think its stupid.  My friend told me that his Chica texts him up to 10 times per day.  He hates it too and makes her pay the bill.....lol.   I can certainly be addictive.

Well, I am completely bummed out.  We are separated by 1 vote from shooting them on the spot !!!   Oh, well........

Nauty.........

I see truckers talking on cells while driving and shifting. I don't think a stinkin 5 speed will slow a teenager down. Here in Washington it is illegal to use a cell and drive....ya right. That doesn't seem to slow things down one bit. So how many of you have used your cell and then looked up to see you have slowed down a lot? If you answered yes, know that there is a real problem with safely driving. If you were unaware of losing speed, how much more have you missed?

Totsie, they do that just to hear ya yell, i would txt you all the time just for spite,
I can txt and drive at the same time, if all those other people out there on the road would practice offencife and defenceive driving they would be watching me and know what i was doing and stay out of my way.
