 We all know its illegal to text and drive, but it's unsafe too. The Virginia Tech Transportation Institute found that text messaging creates a crash risk 23 times worse than driving while not distracted Not only that, but a recent study has found TWD is up to 7x MORE dangerous than driving with a BAC of .15 But let's be honest here, sometimes it's fun to text in the middle of traffic or while cruising down an open stretch of road. Maybe other people can't handle two tasks at once without crashing their car, but I'm a GOOD driver.   So what's the deal, goons? Are you guilty of TWD? Let's hear your thoughts.

Technically it's illegal to do it at stoplights even. But only a real stickler is gonna get butthurt over that.

Once every so often I might check my phone or send out a super quick text at stoplights but for the most part i'm pretty responsible about not using my phone while I'm on the road. I don't even really like to use it at stoplights because I don't wanna miss the light and hold up traffic for a bit as that's kinda inconsiderate.

I don't even look at the frequency when I'm changing radio stations, I just turn the knob blindly and wait for them to say the call letters. I don't look at my speedometer either.

Even setting the GPS is illegal varies from state to state the state I used to be in only made it illegal to use an app that "communicates via the internet" while you drove. so theoretically you could use a GPS as long as the maps were downloaded ahead of time

I watched a girl nearly die because of texting and driving. Was driving to work and there is a large intersection where one side can yield to the other. Woman yielding was texting on her phone and the car with right of way figured she was yielding in a farther lane. Needless to say the girl texting got slammed on driver side and window was coated in red. I say nearly die because she got out of the car a few moments later -still loving texting- while covered in blood from her head. So yes I text while driving. Because then I have the phone in my hand to take pictures easier , and mock bad drivers like that girl.

I hope in the future we have some kind of weaponized space program that allows for the summary execution of people driving recklessly and safely attacks terrible drivers to get them off the road and into the ditch where they belong
