Do YOU text while driving?
As we were leaving the grocery store earlier, I was carrying my 2 year old, and my 4 year old was in between my husband and I, and if we wouldn't have been paying attention, we would have gotten hit by this 16 year old who was more worried about getting that text sent out & not paying attention to the road.

You know what, that 16 - year - old should be detained, and confiscate his/her cell phone at the moment. Texting while driving is so dangerous. Imagine you took your eyes off the road for 10 seconds, serious consequence might happen. Had any of these teenagers consider about it?

I don't drive, but I do text. Texting while driving is being very irresponsible. Aside from drunk driving, texting or answering calls while driving are top causes of accidents on the road. Why risk your life and those around you for something that you can do later?

when driving, texting should be totally avoided. A driver should concentrate with driving lest he commits accident that could cause not just his own life but those of innocent people on the road. So while I myself do not drive, I always remind my husband and my son never to text when driving.

No I don't, but than again I haven't had a phone recently, but still it's not a good thing to do that because that is dangerous and it is against the law. People should not attempt to do that no matter what because it is not possible. It is better to be a safe driver and to not text while driving it's 10 and two when you have both hands on the steering wheel and observing your surroundings because when one is texting it's not really possible to drive with caution. Many people think that they could do it, but they can't and than somebody ends up dying and the person to blame is always the person that was texting because they were not paying attention.
Anyway please lets all be safe drivers and not text while we drive a text is certainly not worth a life. I am always careful when I drive because if I were to take anothers life than that would pretty much haunt me for the rest of my life and I just don't know how I would deal with it because imagine if you kill someone and than ofcoarse they will most likely have loved ones and than the loved ones well want to know who it was and to deal with that to look them straight in the face is certainly not something that I would like to do ever in my life so it's better to wait to answer a text like when not driving.
Hmm come to think of it I also think that texting and walking at the same time is not a good idea. I have had this happen to me a lot where people are looking down texting and they are walking and in most cases they always seem to run into me because they are not checking where they are going so yeah not a good idea and I have seen people almost fall off the stairs because they are not paying much attention where they are going never good not to look because than that is very risky and a high chance you will get hurt maybe that should be against the law to walk at the same time while texting well who knows all I want is for people to not get hurt at all everybody should be safe and continue to be safe and sound with loved ones happy mylotting everybody.

That's dangerous. It's never allowed. YOu have to remind him next time not to do it again, especially if he's alone. Texting is really addicting especially for Filipinos. You might as well get his phone and checked who was that person texting him who almost killed you all.
