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…

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.

Actually, airplanes do land themselves. Google for “auto landing.” It’s a pretty standard feature on airliners these days.

All research suggests that driving while using a cell phone, hands on or hand free, is an added risk to personal and public safety. As a fossil without a cell phone I can tell you that EVERY day I run into some self-absorbed jerk(s) driving while on their phones. The amount of problems this causes…

No, I don’t use my cell phone while I drive. If I must, then I will find a place to pull over first and stop. I think talking on the phone while driving is endangering my life as well as other drivers and pedestrians.

Do you use your phone while you drive?
