Texting while driving

US adults are just as likely as teenagers to text while driving, with one in four saying they have sent mobile phone messages while behind the wheel, according to a survey released on Friday.

Yeah, I do it, but I hate doing it, I only do it in emergencies (no really) which is rare so I really do rarely do it

Did it once and skipped a 4-way stop while entering Rustenburg. Scared the bejesus out of me once I released what I did. Have never, ever done it again - that was in 1999.

Too hard to do on a touch screen or blackberry I find... and I'm talking about being in bumper to bumper traffic. Don't even think about it when driving at speed!!

My sister was texting while driving, not noticing the speed limit and going through the camera on the highway. Getting a fright from the flash, she drove into the side of the highway and destroyed two of her rims. - Good thing it was only the rims! Also stopped this bad habit.

Speed cameras piss me off
