Wankers!

Was out the other night and the girl driving the second car slowed down in front of us and the girl in the front seat told the driver to slow down because she is texting, and that she does it all the time.

:?

I find it hard to understand why people would actually do this. Has it become THAT important to people to be connected at all times, even when driving?



Do you know anyone who does this? Have you ever done this?

People caught doing it should have their licenses revoked.

If I was in the car, sitting behind the driver who was texting, I'd probably punch them in the back of their stupid head.

I dont even change music whilst driving unless Im stationary with the handbrake on. Calling/texting etc whilst driving just isnt my thing.

Read something the other day about someone who died while on facebook on her phone, and her last update was something along the lines of "facebook while driving is dangerous, lol!"

Pretty sure using a phone in your hand is illegal anyway. Idiots :fp:

I always text when I'm in the car, mainly through boredom.

Probably only whilst driving, I reckon.

I thought it was illegal if you are behind the wheel and the engine is on

I fear you may have missed the subtlety of Poser's joke there.

Having a phone in your hand at any time would be illegal. Its a play on the grammar you see.

Just to help re-rail this ( :oops: ) texting at the wheel really is, ironically, fantastically anti-social.

My boss got a fine and a producer in Leeds the other day for using his phone whilst driving. Can't say I had any sympathy at all. I don't think people should be allowed even to use the phone, even on hands free, while driving. It still significantly depletes concentration levels and reaction times.

yeah but anything happening in the car does that you could argue that having kids in the car or a passanger would do the same thing.

But they could be considered essential (not for me; I stick to coupes and two-seaters). I see enough terrible driving from people NOT on the phone that you have to wonder why people are allowed/encouraged to do more stuff. It's like cars with TVs in the front. Just... :fp:

Yes, but that's because you are ready for war.

I sometimes text while driving... but I don't slow down much so wouldn't be annoying you, Hulo, if you were in the car behind me.
