Half of teens say they've used cellphone while driving

LOL that is probably true about lying! I made up my mind the other day - come hell or high water I will NOT answer my phone or make a call or even pick up my phone to see who is calling while driving. PERIOD. I do not drink and drive so why should I put others and myself at risk on a stupid cell phone - something I lived without for years.

Thanks for the reminder to all about how dangerous it is to use these things while driving a vehicle!

PS I see people alllll the time going down 98 in rush time traffic TEXTING - grown ups at that! :nono1:

I saw a girl on a moped on 30-A last weekend...one hand on the handlebars, the other hand checking her phone.

It was a cell phone text poll conducted during rush hour.

Talking on cell phones while driving is bad enough - texting is INSANE!

95% of the bad driving I see is done by someone on a cell phone - the rest either have a dog on their lap/out the window, have multiple people in the car distracting them (little kids or teenagers), or are drunk/impaired.

Yes, I do occasionally talk on the phone while driving, but most of the time I am one of the only drivers who ISN'T on the phone.

I constantly see people on bikes on their phones. Wobbling down the bike path on their @#@#% phones.

Good thing cell phones weren't popular back in the early eighties. You'd see drivers distracted by go-cup draft beer spillage in one hand, texting with the other hand, trying to shift gears, all legal.

What gets me is going into the public powder room and hearing some woman tinkle while on cell!!

I KNOW!!!

Talk about icky! I don't want to hear YOU going to the bathroom! The call can wait 30 seconds for you to do your business, wash your hands, and leave the toilet room!

And I sure don't want to think about all the germs you are now passing around on your cell phone!

i saw a young woman with a cell phone in each hand at a traffic light recently. i almost made a cell phone photo of her 2 phones with my phone. or is that the other way around?

Only half? Half of the other half must have lied or don't have phones!!!

OMG - we have done this in other countries, but it was sipping a cocktail, not texting!

Um, and, yes we did crash - a few times!

I've seen the same. They are usually smoking a cigarette and using their knees to maneuver the handlebars at the same time, as well. I am constantly looking over my shoulder when I'm out walking!
