    Default DO YOU TEXT WHILE DRIVING... BE HONEST

    I'm guilty. I have been behind more and more drivers who go left of center, or throw a wheel or 2 off the shoulder while texting. I see them in their side/rear view mirror, so I know that's what they are doing.

    This practice is getting worse by the day! WAY worse then Drunk Driving! I have even used my knee to drive, so I can text faster with both hands! WTF?! I quit doing that... OK - I'm lying, I cut back . But its crazy! Nothing is that important that can't wait till you get to your destination before texting is it?

    HONESTLY answer the poll, I'm just curious. You can choose multiple...

    i did until I got an Iphone. You HAVE to look at your phone when texting and its impossible to drive at the same time. I had a razor before so I had all the keys memorized.

    I'll be honest, I do frequently, I can type most messages without looking though. But I am more cautious. My GF just flipped her car because she was paying more attention to her phone
    I'm just that guy that spends all his time printing.... T-shirts, banners, vinyl, etc.

    I have a Blackberry Pearl so texting is very easy without looking. I type with both hands and steer with the knee. I only look down at the end of a sentence.

    I have metro pcs and a metro phone. Texting is not so fun, so I barely do it even when I am not driving.

    Well Dan has Tmobile and an Iphone. I have had metro for 9 years and we haven't ever had a house phone, so it's nice to only pay $50/month for a "house" phone that you can take with you. Dan and I are together most of thime anyways. What's his is mine and what's mine is mine.

    I don't use the phone that much anyways. I don't even answer it right now most of the time because the screen is broken and I can't see who is calling. Been that way for weeks. I'm not even motivated to get a new one.

    The only time I'll ever do it is at a complete stop. If you text me while I'm driving I'll call you. But in situations with lots of traffic I won't even do that. People pay too much time paying attention to their phone and not the road.

    I was pretty bad with it.. So what I do now... Is put both phones on silent when I get in the car... and put some music and forget about it...if someone text me, I wont even notice..

    Now, I just have to get better when I have to text someone.. For some reason I cant never wait until im at my destination.. duh..
