anyone here from around philly or new jersey?

 

I'm guilty of doing that now and then when I'm not moving very fast....

 

What If I'm driving down the New Jersey Turnpike and get pulled over by a State Police officer (who has assessed I fit the criminal profile) and I decide to text message Al Sharpton right in front of the cop.....will I be arrested or just fined?

Damn little keys...I have trouble text-messaging when I'm not doing anything at all; I'd be afraid to see the results of attempting while driving.

 

I am and I have done it before, but only once or twice,

 

My sister's deaf, and she always signs while driving, sometimes to people in the backseat. Don't know how she's never hit anybody.

 

A few words when you're barely moving by a bunch of lights isn't so bad... that's pretty much all I've ever done stuff like "I'll call you in an hour".

 

no, can't say i ever text'd someone while driving...i dont' ahve a cell phone anyways...so yea...

though, thats not to say i haven't done any dumb shit while driving haha

 

You smoke your crackpipe when driving, fitz?

 

no...i dont' have a crackpipe

though, i've smoked and drank while driving....haven't done any of that in a long time though...i'm a much safer driver now....

 

I've nearly caused wrecks trying to attach the freakin ear piece to my phone while in traffic when someone calls me. I don't think I'm ready for texting yet.

 

Don't have a crackpipe? You're no fun then at all.

Haha... I'm actually a very safe driver myself.

 

i actually almost had a couple of crashes on the way down to CT the other night...hahaha

 

How can people manage to text and drive if half of them cant even walk and talk at the same time?

 

..And you laugh.

 

I have ADD......

 

yea

 

I had ADD before they even knew what it was. In college I read books while driving down the interstate. Ran over only two hitchhikers and caused just one forty car pileup.

 

:gasp:

I've read before while driving years ago when I was in college also. I don't know if I have add but I ALWAYS have to have my mind occupied.

 

Seriously, a neighbor friend went drunk driving when he was 17 and tried to pass a semi in the emergency lane only there was a transient standing there. The bum was killed instantly and he rolled his truck but was able to drive away to a movie theater. Cops tracked him down and arrested him in the middle of a feature.
