However, if I want to change my iDrive from FM radio to MP3, find the folder I want, and find the song I want, I cannot do this without looking. So - which is more dangerous, texting or iDrive...
So, who here speeds... or talks on a hands free phone whilst driving... or swaps CD or uses iDrive whilst driving... etc etc. Things need to be put in context and perspective, not everybody (especially "young people") need to stare at a mobile phone in order to send a message. For me, it is certainly no more dangerous - infact I would honestly say less dangerous - than using the iDrive which _does_ require my eyes to be taken off the road.

Well, show us the iDrive accident deaths and then they can be called 'comparable'.
