Qu@ke Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 I think texting while driving is pretty dangerous actually, if you can drive and text or have seen someone doing it, what are your thoughts on the matter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cin Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 I remember seeing it on a 100 ways to die. That a guy was texting while driving, his girlfriend was texting whilst walking (who was he driving to meet)....he hit her and killed her...ouch. It's dumb as is any use of the phone whilst driving. I see it on the main road outside my house...and there's a school the other side of the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cin Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 Snatching the phone off her is pretty stupid. Removing a distraction, by distracting someone is never a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smesh Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 My girlfriend's 14, and she's learning to drive early. She was texting me, with her dad right beside her, while driving. On the road, not just in a parking lot. (Illegal? Probably.) Worried I am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marisa Kirisame-ze Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 Whenever I'm in the car with someone, I make sure that the driver's phone is either off or thrown at the back of the car. But most parents or authorities I know are really good with safety and all that stuff~ So I don't really have to worry about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sander Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 Doing ANYTHING with the phone whilst driving should end up with you losing your license for a period of time. Same logic should apply to drunk drivers as well (though they should lose the right to ever own a drivers license). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahamut - Envoy of the End Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 As someone (I'm guessing I'm in a vast minority) of YCM members who can and regularly do drive, I've never felt the inclination to tell anyone anything that desperately whilst going along a busy road at 70MPH. Strangely enough. But like Zandaa said, doing anything phone related whilst in the drivers seat; texting, calling, recording jokes (that means you Jimmy Carr), whatever; it takes away your attention and its unsafe for you and others. PS: One more thing. I can't think for the life of me the technical term for it, but rushing across level crossings when the barriers are down (meaning guess what, there IS a train coming) is the most moronic thing I've ever seen. THERE IS NOWHERE YOU HAVE TO BE THAT DESPERATELY!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'tyleR Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 I have no problem with it so long as it's done at a stoplight. Other than that, dangerous as f***, and it's illegal in Ky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 [quote name='• Starrk •' timestamp='1306878355' post='5245069'] My sister texts at a stop light. However she doesn't while in motion. She at least has SOME common sense. [/quote] Yeah, this. Everyone in my family (with the exception of my sister at red lights) is pretty good with not using the phone or texting during driving, although I will admit to picking up the phone occasionally if I know it's something important like my workplace calling. I wouldn't dare touch the phone on a highway; that's just damn suicide. I'm not fine with people texting or talking while driving, but it shocks me that teenagers think they can actually text while drive. It takes two hands to text while it takes one to talk, so even the bullshit logc used to advocate for talking while driving is nullified when applied to texting.
