We know that lots of people talk on the phone while driving. Are you one of them? No judgment here! (Well, we’ll keep it to ourselves). We just want to engage folks in a discussion about why people use the phone while driving, under what circumstances, and what your experience has been. Have y…

I just hate the telephone in general so driving or not I’d just rather not have to use one (mobile or otherwise). But like many people it is a good coordinating device, and like many here I will answer the phone while driving long enough to figure out if I need to get milk on the way home. But I d…

Never. I have seen far too many cell phone problems.

No, I don’t use a cell phone while I drive. I don’t drive drunk either.

Honestly, yes I have and will. I will answer the cell phone if I judge the driving situation to be not too demanding (interstate cruising, for example) or if my wife is in the car I’ll hand the ringing phone to her. If it’s in town traffic, then I’ll let it go to voice mail or answer and pull over…

I’ll answer a call while I’ve driving, but I immediately look for a safe place to pull over to continue the call. If I’m on a divided highway or in traffic I’ll just say “I can’t talk at the moment, I’ll call you back when I get safe”.

Recently the powers to be have determined that laws prohibiting hand held cell phone use did not reduce accidents. Faster than you can read this message the news media had change it to something like cell phones have been proven safe to use in a car. Totally ignoring the fact that the law likely d…

NO. It’s too dangerous. I’ve been driving 2 hours a day for the past 20 years. It’s pretty scary the things I see nowadays. I wish I had a camcorder to prove to those who say, “Oh! but I can do both and drive fine!” that they really can’t. On the highway, I’ve seen people driving on the shoulder, NO…

I still say in 20~30 years, the cars will be driving themselves, no human involvement except to tell it where they want to go.

Now there’s a scary thought. There’s a reason airplanes don’t land themselves. I have to admit, however, that with GPS systems becoming pinpoint accurate and automated systems such as the distance-measuring/automatic-braking system that Mercedes has, along with all the other new technology includin…

Under advice from my attorney, I respectfully refuse to answer that question on the grounds it may tend to incriminate me.
