Thank you all for your kind words. If just one of you stops doing it based on this question it was worth it...

Wow! I just watched the video of the news in the link you have here! I'm so very sorry for your loss! I realize these are just words to you, but I do believe everyone that has answered this question feels what they are saying to you; just as I do.
And to answer your question, I have a cell phone but I do not read or send text messages while I'm driving.
I have a headset for handsfree when I am using the phone in the car. I don't take my hands off the wheel for something as inconsequential as a phone since a car can be such a deadly weapon. When I'm driving, I take it seriously and pay attention to what's going on around me.

I am sorry for your loss I live in the Phoenix area and I remember this story. I use to text when I was stopped at a light but now I don't even talk on the phone because of this story.I will have a moment of silence for your lost loved one. May you keep your head high and remember the times the two of you had together. She should always be in your heart and soul.

No I don't and I give my wife hell, about just talking on the cell while driving.
My daughter ran off the road about 5 months ago while texting, luckily she only had to replace her ball joints, She doesn't text as much, I wish she'd stop period, but she acts like she's invincible.

no, i dont do anything except drive, and listen to music while driving. I'm very sorry about your fiance =(
Edit: One time my boyfriend was helping his friends lift a fridge, and one of the guys got a text and imediatly dropped the fridge and looked at his text. My boyfriend got his hand crushed.

I'm so sorry for you loss...I wish I could give you a big hug!
Personally, I don't. My ex does (and at night) and scares the poop out of me. I will pass the story on to him.

I've heard the warnings on TV and stress it so much to my kids! Kids text more than anyone, and it scares me to death!
No, I don't, and I'm so very sorry to hear about your fiance'! My thoughts and prayers are with you and all the other family!
