Re: WHY NOT,simply Because of safety said by whocares0:a perfect example of ? just what I and other safe drivers were commenting on I thought you didn't drive?
Anyway, I believe my texting and driving is very safe. I haven't had accidents or close calls yet, so I don't see what the big deal is, and I don't plan on stopping anytime soon. |

I drink and drive all the time. Hey, I haven't had an accident or killed anyone yet ... must be safe. Idiot.

...and yeah, you'll stop. Either by common sense, or by inevitably hitting other people/property while engaged in the practice. Plus, I'm sure texting while driving qualifies as "at fault" in an accident, regardless of your surroundings. Its equally as reckless as DUI or driving double the speed limit. |

I'd speculate drinking and driving is a safer activity than texting and driving. |

| I drove for a living earlier in my life and I've seen a lot off terrible accidents that could have been avoided if the driver had not been distracted. Hopefully you'll grow up and change your attitude before it happens to you. |

Hopefully you'll grow up and change your attitude before it happens to you. not so much "happen to him" as to happen to the other innocent drivers,(ie mothers with children in a car) on the road.

Double the fun! And double the insurance payments when you wreck. Again, doesn't really matter if you have right-of-way, if you're driving recklessly, you then become eligible for at-fault blame for an accident. |

Actually, I think they proved it was about the same on a Mythbusters episode. Regardless they were both really dangerous, and the better test drivers were marginally better drunk than texting. |
