11 people

[Yuriatin]

On my way in to work this morn, I counted 11 people talking on their hand held cell phones while driving. I stopped counting after 11.

What's wrong with people?

How many of you are doing this ... ?

Re: 11 people

i use the earbuds that came with the phone cause it looks tacky and unsafe to not have two hands on the wheel.

I don't text now, I barely do that sitting still somewhere, now THAT is really ridiculous.

Re: 11 people

concerning safety, aren't there studies out that show using a 'hands-free' is nearly the equivalent of holding the phone?

anyway, I am not a phone lover (generally) so the above is not on my personal list of issues

Re: 11 people

Indeed - there is absolutely NO difference between talking on your cell phone (hands free or not) vs texting.

Believe it.

Sadly, I just dont think people will realize the danger until they or their loved one meets calamity.

Nut you have people who focus dem attention pan di road an still get into accident Nat meant to be sarcastic but it's troo sey some people cyan drive period.

Mi tink hand free talking on the phone is a tad bit benign to putting on mascara while driving. Now that's something to campaign about
