I did it sometimes, not that I want to chat on the phone while driving. Someone just called me while I was driving, so I pick it up and start talking on the phone. Some states warned the drivers to avoid to do so. Especially, state of Washington has law to strict this practice. Beware, avoid to talk on the phone while driving.

I've done it. I try not to, but it can be hard to avoid sometimes.

I know in Virginia if you are under the age of 18 you aren't allowed to be on the phone at all while driving. For me I rarely do it and if I do its mostly if someone calls me. I know a lot of people would say to pull off on the side of the road, but sometimes you just can't, especially if you are on the highway. Its just easier to answer the phone and as long as you're safe and still able to pay attention then its fine by me. But if you know you're going to be distracted I hope you won't.

I've only talked on the phone while driving a handfull of times. I haven't really done it much and my conversations have only lasted a few seconds. I'm not going to stay on the phone and talk forever while driving because it's really hard to talk on the phone and drive all at the same time. It's dangerous and illegal in many states. It's really not a good idea.

I avoid touching my phone while driving it is extremely dangerous, we have very strict laws against it now and it could reult in a loss of license. I think i can wait to pull over to talk to someone, saves me losing my license!

I don't talk on the phone while driving. It is too dangerous. It takes a person's attention away from the road. It only takes a second to end up in a car accident. What I do do if I am expecting a phone call and the phone rings I pull off to the side of the road and answer it.
