Texting while driving, this has to stop

HelloPeter them for not replying to your email.

As the vitriolic toad below points out, that isn't a valid option: I'm not their customer complaining or (ha!) complimenting them for anything; and HP is a more a channel for that than what went on here. So, it certainly appears conclusive that they have a cavalier management culture, the polar opposite of, say, Imperial. But at least we all had a good gnashing and thrashing about this topic.

And say what? That my hypocritial bit of vigilantism wasn't responded to? That I'm complaining on HelloPeter even if its not about any service you rendered? That I am excercising my right to be a vindictive chop?

Slow down, pay attention to what you're doing and, if only for the hell of it, consider before firing off some flying spittle-driven invective. You may even come off as less of an ass.

Seriously, if the best you can do is resort to being a spell checker then I guess you are getting desperate to save some face.
I would like to point out that the only people who have really been vitriolic have been yourself, synbad and hoxbog. you know, using terms like toad, ass, knob, mother frunker etc etc. And that you are the ones who have been strident and somewhat hysterical. In other words, once again you are the poster child for hypocrisy. Learn child, learn.

Edit: did you spot the grammatical error in your post? ;)

Tks. But the thing is, I am not trying to score points or anything. I just don't get the hypocrisy of the OP; but even more - I don't see how his "defenders" don't see it. I'm guessing they are a pocket of cyber friends?

Well done. You spotted it. After I brought it to your attention. Yet you cannot admit it. What is wrong with you that you cannot admit fault?

Edit: Or did you not realize that your "pesky" error had been captured?

Spunky your whole argument seems to be focused on hypocrisy. You can't negate someone's point simply due to them being a hypocrite.

I'm sure you've been a hypocrite at some points in your life? There, now you can't criticise anyone for being a hypocrite. Or now I'd like to focus on your past hypocrisies instead of discussing the current topic.

So tell us more, about you being a hypocrite.

Sigh. Ok, let me repeat myself again.

I am not attempting to negate his point. I agree one should not drive and use their phone. What I, and others, have been saying all along, was that to email her employers was extreme. And that was before it came out that Captain Vigilante was guilty of exactly the same thing, both in the past and in the present. Which makes the OP's action shameful in my opinion.
 
Not allowed to speak over the phone while we drive so people text. I phone instead as texting means no eyes on the road. They should fine people texting not speaking on the phones

:erm: you're not allowed to use your phone at all, for anything, while driving. The law doesn't specify speaking only
 
I fully agree, that is why I cycle. No one minds if I'm talking on my phone or texting while I'm on my bike.
 
i also get very irritated by people driving and bbm'ng <-- yes its now a word :D

had this lady drive slowly in front of me and stop about 10 meters away from a robot with no one in front of her, she was on her blackberry, the people behind me start hooting at me! i drive an suv so they probably didnt see her in front of me and thought i was just being a D1 ck.

anyway eventually passed her and she "waves" me off while continuing to bbm.
 
Saw a Motorite branded Polo today. Driver wasn't texting.
