We could move to ban texting, or crossing the street.. or maybe teach kids to have some common sense? Eric

I’ll admit to being distracted… usually by the conversation going on inside the car.

“Watch out for that.. ” and “Warren, you are a lousy driver” are very distracting things to hear while driving.

I find that if I do nothing but concentrate on driving, I will fall asleep. Usually never gets near that... as my mind wanders.

My suggestion. If it's OK to text or use a phone, it's also OK to point an chuckle. The outright rude disregard for others will come from those who would be rude if not on the phone. Surely we can do our best to get along with all without resorting to roving patrols arresting people with their iPhones in hand. David,

And I typically don't want to listen to your conversation or tapping while I'm out and about. Oddly, in the US the National Highway Safety organization has repeatedly shown that eating and drinking while driving is magnitudes more dangerous than talking on a phone while driving. I can't imagine most of us are willing to give them up. If you don't have to dial, we talk while driving all the time. I find it interesting that the most dangerous stuff--and I'd put texting in that group!--isn't even spoken about. And I agree, it seems common sense...what's so hard about keeping yourself and others safe? I agree, texting while walking, driving, etc. is dangerous and crazy.
