Default How many of you talk/txt while driving? v. poll

Just as the title says, who talks/txts on the cell while operating a motor vehicle?

Hands free talk, yes. Texting while driving is just plain stupid.

I voted talk.
I text a total of 3 people, and only one of those people I text daily, and that is my best friend. I only text my BF when need be, and I text his sister alot too.

So I really dont need to be texting in the cah...and If Im talking its usually 'oh okay ill be there...in X amount of minutes' or 'is there anyhting i need to pick up on the way home?'

Stuff like that. I hate talking on the phone so its never a long conversation

I'm guilty of both. Talking is rare and quick, texting I need to stop that cause 1) sucks with a stick and 2) dangerous. Granted they are short and quick but I usually wait for a red light to reply. I will usually read it real quick if its short.

I hate driving in cars with other people do it, and I'd like for my girlfriend to stop as well, but I can't expect her to when I'm doing it as well.
