I can not for the life of me understand why anyone would think this was a good idea. We all know talking on the cell, eating, or even talking to kids in the car, can all be dangerous distractions, but texting. I think that is way over the boundaries of what is considered safe. I hope they oulaw it in all states, it is just not a good idea.

Texting while driving is really so dangerous, I'd like to warn everybody. I know that there are some really natural multitaskers out there, and I'm not one of them. But you never know when an accident will happen or is just waiting to happen. Hence you can avoid it by not texting while driving. I just don't know why some people can't wait to read a text message until they're somewhere else aside from the driver's seat. It smacks of being so addicted to text messaging and never learning to relax at all. Sometimes, we have to ignore some incessant messages from our friends, or put down the phone, so we can really think about ourselves, or do the things that really matter, like meditating or praying for a better world. It worries me that nobody knows how to really relax these days. Instead, everyone is so hyperactive and wouldn't stop sending text messages or opening one.

There are alot of people that do text at the same time as they are driving.I would never do that as i know there have been a lot of deaths caused by people texting as well as it is a law not to do it.I think that the law is there for all the right reasons and anyone who texts whilst driving should get a fine and a ban.

I've seen a lot of people doing that. Texting while driving. What's worst is that there is no law regarding that. It's not only the life of the driver which is at stake but also those innocent people.

texting while driving? no way! i wouldn't risk my life for that. there are many cases like that here in our country 4 out of 10 people who is texting while driving the result they've gone to an accident. they should stop first if they want to text if it is important not to rush it or else bad things would happen :|
