Hey myLotters,
We all know that texting or talking on the phone while driving can be extremely dangerous. However, a lot of us do it anyway and ignore the warnings.
I try not to pick up the phone while I'm driving, but it's so hard to resist the sound of a vibrating or ringing phone.
What about you?

Happy myLotting!

I never text, but I use my blur tooth and talk often. I probably should not because I know it is a distraction. I think I shall make a goal. For the next week no phone in the truck! Wish me luck.

I never do but most of the peoploe I know do it. I think it´s extremly dangerous even when it´s hands free. Your concentration should be on the road while driving. Using a cellphone while driving must be equal as driving under influence of alcohol or drugs


myLot reputation of 96/100. virusxtreme24 (715)   ranked 829 out of 19,456 in questions & answers  5 months ago

That's true. I read in one study that it's even deadlier so it's pretty scary.

I used to text if I was on a straight road and always used the phone whilst driving.
I got a speeding fine and points so I want to avoid getting a driving ban.
The laws in the UK are very strict now so I don't use the phone whilst driving as I can't risk getting bannedhappy


myLot reputation of 96/100. virusxtreme24 (715)   ranked 829 out of 19,456 in questions & answers  5 months ago

A lesson well learned, huh!? Just kidding. Glad to know you don't talk on the phone while driving anymore.

Yeah,it is very dangerous to talk or text on the phone while driving.I am not a driver.But I have seen many drivers doing that.
I am planning to learn to drive.I think I will try my best not to answering the phone when I am driving.If I have to,I will put it on the speaker.And then tell the callers that I am driving and I will call back later.I think they will understand me.Anyway,safety is more important.
Have a wonderful day!

Have fun learning how to drive.:) And yes, safety is a thousand times more important than a simple phone call.

In fact you can get a hefty ticket now doing that. many people have had accident's doing just that. I shut mine off until when I get to where I am going then I turn it on. I figure that way there is no chance at all of it ringing.


myLot reputation of 96/100. virusxtreme24 (715)   ranked 829 out of 19,456 in questions & answers  5 months ago

I do that as well, no distractions while driving. Even though tickets can be a couple hundred dollars, I think they decided to fine people that amount so they would never text/talk on the phone while driving the next time.

Nope, I don't text or talk on the phone when driving. For me, it's safety first.


myLot reputation of 96/100. virusxtreme24 (715)   ranked 829 out of 19,456 in questions & answers  5 months ago

That's good to know. One phone call isn't worth your life.

I actually do neither. When I get to my destination or find a place to pull over I will call the person back or text back. I tell them in either case I am driving and will get back to them within the half or hour, or whatever the case my be. My friends and family are fine with that. I need to focus on the road.


myLot reputation of 96/100. virusxtreme24 (715)   ranked 829 out of 19,456 in questions & answers  5 months ago

That's a smart idea, by pulling over on the side of the road to make phone calls you are putting your safety first.

NO. Here in Canada we actually have a law again such activities. Texting and calling while driving causing distractions to the drive and endangers themselves as well as others on the road. Stats have shown majority of accidents occur because of the use of cellphone while driving.

It's such a shame, so many people have lost their lives due to one stupid phone call or text.

I only talk on the phone using the bluetooth but never text when driving...that is quite dangerous


myLot reputation of 96/100. virusxtreme24 (715)   ranked 829 out of 19,456 in questions & answers  5 months ago

I use my bluetooth headset as well but sometimes I find it doesn't help out.

Here in the UK it is actually illegal to talk or text on the phone when driving, but sadly people still do it, it's extremely dangerous and has caused many accidents, I would never take the risk, mind you it's very rare for me to use my phone except in emergencies, and texting can wait, it's not important, keeping your eyes fully on the road without distraction is important and is not life threatening either. I can also ignore a ringing phone it doesn't bother me, mind you I usually have my music on in the car anyhow and the mobile is hidden away in my bag.

I find it so sad how innocent people are killed by careless people texting/talking while driving:(
