Texting While Driving - I(we) need to stop ASAP

[Kevykev]

Been doing it for a few years now and haven't had any issues or "close calls" but it's definitely something I will work on NOT doing anymore.

what about you guys?


I know someone that's pretty bad about doing it under demanding conditions too (5 speed, night, rain and boost with bad tires) all while texting lol - I won't call any names though. :D

[thecrazyone]

yea, i would be willing to say 75% ish def talk. and probably text will driving.

scary thought.

[MeFryRice]

I agree. Too many people that don't need to be driving in the first place is now texting as well.

[blackboi50]

i try not to but its sooooo tempting!!!!

like if someone said dont push the red button..........i would push the fack outta it!!!!!:lmfao:.......1

[DJ Maestro]

Yeah, I have become pretty bad about doing that. It's dangerous. I use a full keyboard phone so it is next to impossible to one hand type with it so I just use my knees to steer and both hands to text. No close calls yet, but I really need to stop before something happens. Only problem....it's too damn hard not to reply to a text. It's a disease I tell you. :eek:

Phones need a speech-to-text feature that works through a bluetooth ear piece. I'd be all over that. :goodjob:

[Kevykev]

It's the convenience factor, that's why it's so tempting. I just know that if I wrecked because of it, I would be highly pissed at myself.

[Kevykev]

Wow, That's gotta be level 5 status right there.

[DJ Maestro]

Wow, That's gotta be level 5 status right there.

Level 5 status? :thinking:

[Killer]

i use to... till i got my new phone.. samsung i760 the front face slides sideways to then open the qwerty keyboard... so it's an elongated qwerty... too hard to text considering i need 2 hands to do it.... i might throw one out at a red light or sitting in traffic.. but i use to text all the time cause i could without looking and with using one hand.... but i really can't now that i'm driving a stick...

[Kevykev]

Level 5 status? :thinking:

ok, i kinda made that one up but in terms of the level of intensity with 1 being not too bad and 5 being extreme, you're level 5. :D

Regardless though, we all need to reduce our TWD (Texting While Driving) numbers or just limit usage to red lights only.

[thecrazyone]

Level 5 status? :thinking:

i think he means thats about as bad/far as it goes.

[Killer]

kelly is the worst.... she drives a stick too.. and will drive with her knees so she can carry on a text conversation... while searching for a song to listen to on her i-river....


it sucks...

[DJ Maestro]

ok, i kinda made that one up but in terms of the level of intensity with 1 being not too bad and 5 being extreme, you're level 5. :D

Yes!! Extreme right here baby! :super:

:lmfao:

[DJ Maestro]

I have gotten into the habit now of trying to wait for a red light to shoot a text. Definitely safer that way. Last thing I want is to be "remembered" for my level 5 status. :doh: :D

[EJ25RUN]

i dont, not too hard just to talk to people.

[mocha latte cupcake]

i can text over 70 words a minute without looking @ my phone and while driving... no problems here :D but sorry kevy

i don't see how people wreck cause they are talkin on the phone. its more like they wreck cause they are dumbasses.

[mocha latte cupcake]

:D lots and lots of practice lol... i always "borrow" the phone before i buy it to see if i can text just as fast as i could on my old one lol. its stupid i know but i text over 3000 messages a month so i gotta keep it quick lol

besides... girls don't complain either :ninja:

[Kevykev]

Killer- she is level 5 too.

Phone Call while Driving - Hope you drop your phone and lean down to get it, then when you look back up you run into the back of a semi hauling pine trees and get an evergreen through your f*cking throat. It's a bonus if your kid in the backseat gets to witness it all.

Texting while Driving - You should get distracted with your texting then miss a turn and run into a ditch. Car bounces up, rolls, making the caved-in roof put a nice indention into your skull. Your fingers should break as well to prevent you from texting while burning in Hell, because that's just rude.

Make-up while Driving - It'd be just swell if you didn't notice that red light and rear-ended a mail truck, thus diploying your airbag and blasting that eyeliner pencil into your cranium. Then you can scream and wail in agony as the fuel lines of your vehicle ignite and light your vehicle on-fire, burning you to a slow death.

Well now, someone's been watching too much Final Destination: The Complete F'd Up Box Set. :thinking:

That was the dumbest one out of all of them too...

[Ran]

That was the dumbest one out of all of them too...Which is probably why I didn't bother to see the others. Though the new one is supposed to be focused around a NASCAR crash that involves a car going into the crowd. Could be interesting.

A NEW one? WTF... post a link.
