People take their driving privileges way too lightly and have little respect for the two-ton death machines they operate on a regular basis.

Driving and texting is worse than drunk driving. I don't have much sympathy for her.

I see people doing this all the time, and the vast majority are female.

Very sad, and completely unnecessary. I have never found something so important to report that I had to do it from behind the wheel.

I literally yell at my girlfriend to get off her f**king phone if she's driving around with me in the car, it pisses me off that she does it.

 

If she wants to endanger her life when she's in the car by herself, fine, but I'll be damned if she does it when I'm driving with her.

The rare times I'm actually on my phone while driving..I pull over. The only time I've done it..I'm going slow as hell.

 

What a waste.

I agree. Probably my biggest pet peeve are people on the phone while driving. My phone stays in my pocket while in the car. Edited April 27, 2014 by 1nutkruk

My phone stays in my pocket while in the car.

 

I put mine in the cupholder, so that if it rings I can see the number. On the rare occasions when I have seen incoming calls important enough to take, I have pulled off the road.

it's so easy to pull over to the side of the road. it's so difficult to look at your phone and do business while trying to control your car.

 

i was in high point, north carolina just a few weeks ago. glad this happened after i left.

And Heaven knows they don't need any additional obstacles to their driving.

The beauty of buying my truck last year is the blue tooth in the stereo system.

This is an awesome quote
