    the problem is with people having to drive, or being convinced that they do.

    I'm actually looking at the road most of the time. It is beneficial in my opinion to assess road hazards, as I am a very visual driver. I scan for idiots so I know what cars to look out for.
    They are actually texting cuddle arrangements with abusive A-holes is the story I like to go with.

    So wait. You are admitting you TWD?

    Please copy/paste one of your texts to friends I'm so curious about.

    The internet claims that new drivers in the U.K. can lose their drivers license for one TWD infraction.

    Voice recognition texting is definitely the way to go even while driving

    In the experience voice recognition is about as useful as reading a a foreign map in their native tongue. They don't understand me and I sure as hell don't understand them.

    It is a technique and you can't have an accent. Speak slow and use concise speaking. I just wrote this with my voice recognition on my iPad. Works great except when I am in a rush or there's a lot of background noise

    I can't help but have an accent. :D
    And it's still retarded anyway like full on retarded. I only use it when driving to try and select a song and it just doesn't know what I'm talking about.

    And she can't say my name right either. :cuss:

    Old people are texting while driving. This is a true indication that it isn't cool anymore.

    I just started turning my passcode off on my phone before driving so I can use my earpiece to get incoming texts without looking at or touching my phone, I recommend it. It's a lot of work, but worth it.

    That isn't safe either. See post #8 on page 1. Bus driver crashes bus while texting.

    Yeah but you can walk across the street and break a leg or get hit by a car or something too. Play the percentages and a bus ride is quite safe.

    A multiple texting accident will be reported in the news at some point (if it already hasn't). Three-way crash between bus, car, and pedestrian who were all texting. And upon arrival, the ambulance crashed into the vehicles because its driver was texting.
