Also, texting is probably the worst thing you can do while driving! It's soooo dangerous! I'd much rather have someone talk on the phone then text! Think about it, you have to look at your phone and think about what you're going to type as well as look at the keys you're typing with, all of which distract you more then anything else. Hell, I'd rather drive with a drunk driver then someone who was texting through the entire trip!

My wife used to do it before I met her, then one day she starts texting while driving us around, I flipped out and made her promise not to ever do it again, and no she's totally against others doing it because she never realized how dangerous it was until I made it clear to her.

texting!

What kind of epic fail people have to look at their phone while texting? With all the full keyboard phones out there you'd think people would learn to blind text. Queue your phone to make a sound or vibrate when you input a key and poof.

Do you look at your pedals to know which is brake and which is gas or clutch? Check your shifter to know what gear your in? Blind full keyboard texting is the same thing with 30 keys instead of 2-6.

I don't text while driving on simple principle but still. Fail less imo.

Try to do it with an Iphone^^^^

another issue I have is putting your legs up on the dash. My gf used to do it, but I made her quit. Imagine your feet are on the dash, bamn accident, then the airbag puts your legs behind your head so fast you break your hip or pop your femur out of socket. No good.

sorry to go OT
