Just Plain Ruff Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 How Well Can You Text and Drive? I tried it. Is there an end to it? I just kept going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going just like the energizer bunny I don't text and drive so I ignored the text on the phone. at one time it would not let me change lanes because I didn't do something with the phone. I only missed a couple of lane changes based on the phone not letting me change lanes. If you don't text and drive then this is a moot point right?

Richard B the EMT Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Heck, I wasn't able to find the right lanes, let alone even look at the text! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Plain Ruff Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Heck, I wasn't able to find the right lanes, let alone even look at the text! Now Richard, if you don't text and drive then why did you need to read the text????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard B the EMT Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Just trying the test. I don't usually do video games, anyway. Last one I considered myself good in was Asteroids! 30 years ago? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paramedicmike Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 I don't talk on my phone while driving much less try to text. So I didn't click on the link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireMedic65 Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Not really a test on texting and driving. Just a test to see if you can multitask. Simple to look over briefly and press the number for the gate and click the letters you want to type. Texting and driving is stupid though... I used to do it and noticed I would probably die if I kept doing it. Talking and driving is different... I use a blue toof ear piece, never had any problems.

JPINFV Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 (edited) Talking and driving is different... I use a blue toof ear piece, never had any problems. I don't use a hands free accessory and never had a problem related to hands. The problem with talking on the phone is that it's the conversation and not an issue with hands free vs in hand. Actually, I find my driving is much more affected when I use the loud speaker option (hence being technically "hands free" and in compliance with California law) than when I hold the phone up to my ear.

It hurts my elbow if I hold the phone up to my ear too long. I probably shouldn't talk and drive either... one could be distracted by the conversation or worse.. by your driving and not hearing what your gf or whatever is saying. Sometimes I would rather crash than feel the wrath of a women for "not listening" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard B the EMT Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Add to the mix that I don't use a cell phone while driving, because I don't own a cell phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
