Perfect reason "NOT" to text while driving

If you are doing this please stop it

There have been a number of cases of causing death by dangerous driving in the UK attributed to texting. Only a couple of months ago a Peer in the uk was jailed for such.

BBC NEWS | England | South Yorkshire | Peer jailed for motorway texting

note: A peer is a member of the House of Lords in the UK parliament (i.e. the upper house).

I don't even know how you text while driving, you must have crazy skills because I refuse to even answer my phone

It is only a matter of time before your car can detect a cell phone and disallow texting

How do you do that? Last I checked it took two hands and eyes to text. The same two hands and eyes needed to drive. Multi task my ass...

I was waiting to back out of DD earlier this week and some moron came flying in the spot next to me and almost hit me because he was too busy fookin texting

I never used to answer my phone while driving. I do now with the bluetooth. The conversations are short.
