I was watching Dr Phil today and this 17yo girl says she refuses to stop texting while driving. That scares me. If you do, WHY? Why do 17 y.o.'s think they can drive well to begin with? You're inexperienced, it takes years to be a really good driver!!!

I never, ever text or talk on the phone while driving. As a matter of fact, I also do not eat, apply make-up, or read either. When you drive, you should focus on one thing 100%, and that is driving. And Vtecpakines or whatever your name is, I doubt you have the skills to be eating, chatting on your phone, and shifting at the same time. Quit dangerous and you should stop assuming you're such a great driver, cuz by the looks of your pic, you are young (atleast as young as I am, I'm 22) and careless.
As for that 17 yo, her parents shouls step up before she kills herself or someone and take away either the phone, her keys, or better yet, both. Texting while driving is stupid and dangerous, no matter the age, sex, or years licensed of the driver. If something's so important, pull over and make a call!

Idiots.
There is no other word.
And no, I don't think there should be a law against it. Instead, these idiots should be prosecuted under the existing laws.
Like the one that says you must be in full control of your vehicle at all times. Or any of the other existing traffic control laws that get broken. Then follow up with manslaughter and vehicular homicide. I'm sure that there are a whole bunch more. If the idiots were to realize all the different things that they may face, at least a few would stop.

No! i do no longer text fabric jointly as using. If i myself mandatory to text fabric a message to absolutely everyone,i could pull off the line or flow right into a identifying to purchase mall than do the text fabric in a secure place. comparable factor holds genuine for speaking on your cellular telephone. using is a privilege which you do no longer opt to lose your license for no longer being allert for what's around you while youcontinual.

I almost got hit head on a few weeks back while I was waiting at a light to make a left. She was drifting over into my lane oblivious to any cars on the road. Looking down texting on her phone.

when she kills some1, goes down for felony vehicular homicide, loses license for awhile, and spends time in jail.......maybe she'll wake up. it's gross negligence, and she will learn a entire new meaning to the phrase 'getting owned'.
i would either take her phone away, or just cancel the phone period. better yet, revoke her privilege to drive. think dad needs to grow a pair before he gets owned after she kills someone.
