Meaning you're stopped on the side of the road, right?

I'm pretty sure statistics show texting is just as bad as driving drunk. Big B, do you drive drunk, as long as no one is around you?

Ya know my social life was JUST FINE before text messaging really caught on. No friendships ever ended because I couldn't text someone while I was driving.

I have never drove drunk...or anywhere even close to it. Texting and driving is quite different from that. When ur drunk you are constantly impared, where as you are only impared for 10 sec when texting....it's no different from eating and driving, or reaching for something. And like I said, only when there isn't any traffic around....you wanna endanger your own life then whatever thats ur choice, but there is no need to endanger anyone elses. And as for these laws that are coming out against it....the only way it will ever be enforced is in the event of an accident....it's not like ppl are gonna be openly texting while meeting an officer.

Glad to hear your not a drunk driver. I wwasn't trying to imply or suggest that you were in my last post I agree with you that you're constantly impaired while drunk and only pre-occupied for a much shorter time while texting, but I'd rather not see anyone injured, or worse, because they were teexting, even if they're out in the middle of nowhere, away from everyone else on the planet. Its just a dangerous practice, IMO.

A neat feature I have on my Droid is a talk-to-text thingy, where I just talk into the receiver and it texts it out for me. I think more phones should have this feature, it would help alot of people who text while driving.
