| I use both. Now, with texting, the only thing I dont like is that people send these mass texts to all of their friends in their phonebook. I almost feel insulted because that person doesnt feel the need to specifically talk to me. Its a good idea in concept, but I hate it when someone sends me a text asking "what are you doing tonight?", only to find out that 3 of my other buddies whom are also friends with that person received the same text. But I do use both, both are useful. |

driving and using a non hands free celphone should be illegal. it is in most of the world... just a couple of countries still ignorant about how much damage is cost :p
i think soon (if not already) insurance companies will take into account wether or not the driver was on a cel phone |

| while i agree it can be dangerous to drive and talk on/use a cell phone, as usual its a bunch of people who are absolutely retarded and probably suck at driving as is ruining it for people like me who can drive and text absolutely fine |

4 teenage girls in NY all died in an accident because the girl who was driving was texting on her cell phone and she ran off the road.
and it's a law in NY that you can't even be talking on your cell phone while you're behind the wheel. |

its pretty bad, sure, but fact of the matter is its ing proven a ton more accidents happen when the person who "started" it was on a phone.
so essntially its the same thing, just for different reaons- end result is both impair your judgement and cause accidents |

i suppose it boils down to the fact that i'm one of the few who insist that while talking on a cell phone i'm still a better driver than most
i also drive for a living, if that makes a difference
alcohol has effects on your brain, motor skills, coordination, judgement etc, while cell phones are just a distraction.
oh and for the record i rarely talk while driving |
