I saw someone texting while driving.

I have strong ideas against cell phones and driving. At first, drivers talked while they drove. Noone can take out of my head that if you are driving, you cannot at the same time talk to someone without losing some of your concentration. The hands free helped some, but did not end the problem. Now people message each other while driving! As technology has not done anything to give us more hands, messages are done with at least one of the hands we should be driving with. I think that there should be laws against this; the same sort of lawsneeded to keep drumk drivers off the road. What is your opinion? Am I too old?

@marguicha I think here in Manila, texting while driving is one of the main causes of accidents along with driving while intoxicated. So sad...

We do have a law in New Zealand, texting while driving is illegal. But of course, that law takes monitoring, so many people still ignore it.

I amn quite sure that this is as dangerous as being drunk.

@Ycliff Law enforcement can't be everywhere at once, so people take risks.

I hate it when someone texts while driving. I always say something or honk. It is annoying and they act as if they aren't doing anything wrong!

Like others tell you here, it takes somebody catching and spanking to get some of this scary behavior stopped. I have also driven near women putting their hair into a pony tail while they drove on the highway. Imagine what I saw: it takes two not one hand to get that hair to mind.
