Or federal agent.... Just throw it overboard and destroy the evidence!

Lmao that was awesome....... plead the " my phones in the water hoe "

i 100% agree. if you wanna claim yo life then so be it. Same sorta thing happened to me ans a buddy in different scenarios at different times. both times seat belt woulda killed us. he was in an f-250 me an f-150. both instances truck flipped his the roof met the seat and pinned him in and he almost drowned in diesel from L tank. me i fell asleep and woke up going 70 with an 18 wheeler 40 yds away same lane stopped making a left on 167 past maurice. i over corrected flipped into on coming traffic if ida been wearing seat belt ida been in same scenario maybe not dead but not wanting to ive anymore

Same thing happen to us... we were on our way to Texas for work and I let one of the guys drive my truck, we got into that construction zone but it was too late by time we knew the road ended...could not get over due to 18 Wheeler..happened in a flash

I'm with salty, I can care less who wears their seatbelts. But, texting is putting others at risk such as my 3 young kids. I see people dn near go over the causeway daily while fooling with their phone

They have studies showing texting is at least as bad as drunk driving.

Those studies have shown that a person texting while driving has the attention span and reaction ability of a person that is at least at the legal alcohol level. Blow it off if ya want, but, it's a major problem that is totally out of control. Sadly, when enough innocent people die, maybe they'll do something about it.

Sounds to me like you're using the gun control argument.

Can I have more pepper and less salt please? The excess salt sucks the flavor out of the meal and leaves me sick to my stomach. My heart and prayers go out to the victims family and friends in this horrible accident. Rest In Peace.

This was coming from the trooper. I never said this......

Salty, I am with you 100% on the fact that texting and driving is dangerous. My problem lies with people telling me what I can and can't do, as the issue arises as where to draw the line.

I used to commute to downtown (Houston) via METRO and was always amazed by what I would see people doing in their cars - full spread newspapers over the steering wheel, reading books, shaving, putting on make-up, eating, etc... You can't tell me that performing any one of these activities is any less dangerous than texting. So, if you are going to ban one thing, you have to ban it all.

I can see both sides of your argument; Gooh being against more laws which I am too. and Salty being against Texting while driving.... which I am too.

To me putting on makeup, texting, reading a book, checking e-mails, changing out a CD, looking at your phone, rubbing one out, clicking the bean, all of this falls under "Careless Operation" we don't need more laws. Just pull them over for careless operation and give them a ticket.
