I do it a good amount of time or check my fantasy lineup, etc but almost always while Im sitting in traffic or @ a light. Its a bad habit but its tough to break

Too many that's for sure. Can't believe how much of it I see on highway. Never would, but people should start calling police on these people. Scary stuff, and it's not just the millenials either.

Obviously, it's best to not do it, but there are plenty of other distractions that are just as bad. Playing with the radio, etc. Also, 90% of drivers on the interstate in the right lane on cruise control thinking they are safe drivers are not really driving. My dad is this driver. They don't check lanes, and are not aware of their surroundings. I actually think a much safer driver is the one who pushes the speed a little and changes lanes and is really driving and not just coasting.

I think a lot of other distractions are bad like eating or messing with the radio but usually its easier to do those things and keep your eyes on the wheel. I almost crashed when I was 17 going to McDonalds messing with the radio, was going maybe 45 mph and look up and the car in front of me is just stopped since they were making a left turn. Slammed on the breaks just in time but i probably would have totalled both cars. I still don't remember why i didnt just hop into the right lane but I was just glad the breaks worked well

I don't really text and drive but having a mini laptop means I check news, sports, stock quotes while driving, etc

Once the autonomous cars become commercialized, it will solve the problems related to distractions from technology and make the roads much safer.

me too....not sure I could live with myself if I hurt someone being that selfish.

I was texting and driving when I made that tiger woods bet with you.
I think you should let me slide on the bet due to temporary insanity.

I would have never made that bet if I was not driving .

I just pulled over on the side of the road to make this post .
