But as far as knee driving.. I'm a pro (nothing to be proud of, I know civilized America) I used to get dressed and drive at the same time so typing on my Storm is a breeze... Plus you don't stare at the phone for the whole text you look and see where the letters are then you text and look at the road... I never had a accident doing it and I've been knee driving forever...

Texting while driving gives me a headache
i get stressed that i cant complete the text before the light turns green again, then people beep at me...i never been beeped at so much until i entered the blackberry world....texting while walking is becoming a problem for me as well, but i still do it

Livin' in Cali. Still a part of my daily commute. Just gotta keep the berry lower down than before.

Gotta love BBM voice notes, tho.

Almost rolled my Jeep while doing it and decided that was enough. Had her on two wheels and leaned into it (like that actually did anything) but didn't completely roll it.
No more for me.

The only time I have texted in a car was when I'm not driving, or at a red light, drive-thru, etc

According to our state, simply sitting in the drivers seat with the keys in the ignition (engine not necessarily running...) Means you're operating /aka:"driving" the vehicle.

So a better question for me would be "ever text while the vehicle is at speed?".

Nope. Been guilty of whipping off a quick reply to someone while at a red light or stuck in slow-moving traffic... But if the car is traveling forward, even slowly, I don't text at all.
Too dangerous, know a couple people killed by it and from it.

Takes 5 seconds to pull over or hand it to a friend!
And "depends on the skill of the driver"?! Oh please -
It really depends on whether or not while your focused on texting, if you'll catch that one ***** who you otherwise would have seen in time, running that red light or the kid running out into the street after his ball.

You can be the best driver in the world, but you can't control what happens outside your car. All you can do is try to be as alert and FOCUSED a driver as possible to react to other peoples stupidity or mistakes as they happen.

And they will.

Sorry if I'm coming off as preachy, but this is serious stuff. Really, be careful out there.

I hate when I see someone using their phone while driving. I don't give a crap if someone gets mad that I've said this. Lol I work in a hospital and have seen too many damn accidents caused by people doin something with their phone. It drives me insane!
