Oh no, I can not text, I would have to pull over. I am the slowest texter in the world. Takes me 2 mins. to type (ok)

I have a Ming...I need to use my stylus and type on a mini qwerty keyboard! I could never do that while driving!

Really bad idea to text and drive - and guilty of it once or twice.

Do as I say, not as I do people :-)

Sometimes I do that, yeah I'm guilty too... but safety comes 1st before doing anything like that....

This is one topic that I must completely disagree on. I mean, I can see HOW people believe that it's not safe to text and drive. But it's not any more dangerous than say... putting on makeup while driving, or eating a cheeseburger, or even changing the station on the radio.
Accidents can happen under any of those circumstances. And I, personally, am a great texter while driving. (Insert collar pop here.) I can text really long messages without even so much as a flinch. And all that while putting on makeup and eating a cheeseburger while changing the station. ;) (J/K)

any Mobile/cell usage over here is banned

If I have any reason to text something I'll just mail a letter. LOL

I could cause I only use one hand to text, and I don't need to look at the keyboard when I type. Over 50 text a minute
