I Agree

I Believe that texting on the phone while driving should be a ticket. I don't know how they could monitor it, but I'm sure they could come up with a way. Texting on a phone is way more dangerous than being on the phone because you're looking away from the road.

Texting while driving.

I think that texting while driving should be a crime more than talking on a phone. There is no need to look away from the road to hit a couple of buttons on your phone. Texting is suppose to be convenient for people not a hazard.

Don't text or even answer your phone while driving.

I strongly agree with the people should not be allow to text and drive. Because they are not just hurting themselves but they are hurting the other drivers.

Guilty as charged...lol

I never truly thought bout how dangerous this is till I was reading this. Its truly amazing. I too am very guilty of texting while driving. I have caught myself many times almost rearending the vehicle ahead of me. I use to be able to text without looking at my phone, but since i have changed phones, its not that easy...lol. I think that its a good thing they have made texting for semi-truck drivers illegal, but as for regular vehicle drivers, I'm a lil unsure as to how I feel with the poll question at hand. But for now, I am "GUILTY AS CHARGED" for texting while driving.

I agree that texting while driving should be a crime. Sometimes, even talking on a cell phone while you are driving can be extremely dangerous. I have seen drivers (both men and women) talking on a cell and paying no attention whatsoever. I have stopped an accident from happening because I was paying attention and the other driver (texting and/or talking) was not. And the driver kept right on going with no idea that I had just kept that person from being in an accident..... But some drivers think he/she is not at fault.... Wake up, people!! We are all guilty. What did we do before we had cell phones and texting???? We survived just fine... Pay attention, drivers...

lolz

I agree that people should not be texting while driving, although I do it. Most everyone ends up doing it every now and then. I once read an article where a girl was texting while walking home from school, and fell into an open manhole. Yes, that happened while walking. Driving requires all of your senses to be focuses on the task at hand. I don't know how easily a law like that could be enforced, but do agree somehting needs to be done.

What is the need to text while driving?

I honestly think it is a lot safer to drive and talk on the cell phone then text and driving. i personally don't like talking on the phone while driving unless it is an emergency but i don't see where you would have to text some one in case of emergency if it the important call them. I have almost been hit a few times on the interstate by people that have to text and drive. I think they just need to focus on the road more then on their phones.
