    I once saw someone reading a book. How can he even think think that would be safe?

    There was a lady in Texas on the news just the other day that got in an accident because she was shaving her bikini area while driving. Just ridiculous.

    I am guilty of eating when I drive. Classes are a bummer to go to when you have no break and when almost all of them are LABS and you can't eat in the classroom, the only time i get to eat is when I am walking back to my car and trying to rush back home to beat the horrible traffic in NYC!

    I have to admit to texting while I drive but, not while my children are in the car. I know that doesn't make it much better but, its the truth.

    The worst in NYC is texting while driving. You can always tell when someone is doing it. They go below the speed limit and usually start drifting to the side the phone is on.

    i text while driving but i will wait until i am either at a stop sign or red light same for the rest. Eating is more like snacking on like chips, i am also always drinking a coffee or drink while driving as well.

    I don't do any of that. Life existed before cell phones; whoever is calling/texting can wait until I get to where I'm going. I don't do anything that would endanger my life or my child's life, because I love my family. I drive just as safely with or without him in the car with me. I wouldn't want him to miss me his whole life because I was doing something stupid in the car. I also wouldn't want to be a burden to my family that would have to care for me if I wrecked from something like texting while driving. I don't know, I just don't think it's a sensible thing to do, no matter what. You own the phone, the phone doesn't own you. Everything (phone, food, smoking) can wait until you get to where you're going, or you need to pull over. Drive safely for everyone on the road's sake. And, yes, my life is busy, too. I got in a wreck last year from a girl texting; my child was w/me. I was SO PISSED at her for endangering my baby's life. Enough said.

    I am always fashionably late to everything and a girl's gotta eat, , , so why not stuff your face while you are driving to where you are already late??!! No really thats my bad habbit but there is the occasional time I will answer the phone at a red light and the converstion carries on longer than anticipated!!!
