Study: More than HALF of teen drivers text while driving

[Dolph'sZiggler]

For starters it's illegal here in the UK and secondly you can tell a mile off when a car in front of you is texting, especially on a motorway. Their speed will drop from 70mph to 60mph in a few seconds, they swerve and you can see their eyes aren't anywhere near the road.

Those are the hacks. You would never know if I were doing it.

I'd be interested to see!
I followed a guy a week or two ago and he was reading a number from a piece of paper on his passenger seat bit by bit whilst typing it into his phone. He was driving at about 70mph at the time and he nearly hit a lorry. He certainly wasn't good at it!

I'll let you know when the first class will be. You can sign up as the second student, Crayo is the first.

I always wondered would the US want to raise the age to drive to 18th, to stop young bucks from driving hmm..It's even more sad when you see a Cop texting or seeing texting as someone drives and do nothing.

I'm good with that.

Are Police stretched really thin like they are here in the UK? There just isn't enough to deal with everything that happens effectively!

My sister does. And as soon as she does I jump outta the car.

Does the car fall off the bridge and explode as you roll onto the road, pulling out your guns and shooting at the agents that are following you?

I do this all the time, but mostly because I'm stuck in traffic.

 

[DK JAMES]

That's fucked up. It's honestly not that hard to resist a phone going off. Doing it at a light is fine, I suppose.

I don't text and drive,however, I sometimes enjoy a nice fap while I'm behind the wheel.

I'm not surprised that this high of a number of kids are texting and driving. Just because you ban it doesn't mean it's going to stop. People are going to find ways to text and drive and not get caught. Personally I can't do both at the same time but there are people who can and do so often on the roads.

Sprint has a app now that when you're driving, it'll keep incoming texts from coming in and automatically reply with a pre-sent message. Fantastic idea for those who give a damn and can't just simply "not reply".

You should give me lessons. We'd get on so well.

Or just put a voice app on your phone so you can just talk and it'll write what you talk.




People should realize that telling teens "Don't text while driving" won't work, you need to offer an alternative. Scaring an irresponsible person into being responsible only works half the time. Same thing with quitting smoking, you can't just quit smoking because it's a habit, you need an alternative. Which is why a lot of smokers start drinking alcohol, coffee or chewing lots of gum after they quit. Just like that, texting while driving is a habit.

Maybe I should scare you into using a different font colour.
