- KennMac, on 10/11/2007, -2/+241In recent news, it has been reported that changing your pants while driving is also potentially fatal.
- jklyon, on 10/11/2007, -2/+111This article is just a big fat DUH.
- sockpuppets, on 10/11/2007, -3/+97It's perfectly safe. I'm driving right now as I type this and am in perfect contr
- sockpuppets, on 10/11/2007, -4/+86That's why I drive without them. Safety first!
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -9/+72no, but I do occasionally snort coke ... does that count?
- ladyarcher85, on 10/11/2007, -4/+65How many times has it been said that once you get behind the wheel all you need to do is concentrate and drive?
Don't text, don't do stupid things like putting on your make-up, don't even eat etc
As much as possible concentrate on the road. - xvertigox, on 10/11/2007, -1/+51"We all know the risks of talking on your cell phone while driving, but is texting just as bad?"
What the *****? Stupid people shouldn't be allowed on the internet. - Jorlwind, on 10/11/2007, -0/+34Never. My sister does though, and I had to grab the wheel out of her hand once to prevent our horrible flaming demise and nearly sent us into a ditch. Even after that scared the ***** out of her though she STILL does it. She says, "Oh, I won't let that happen again" I can sorta wrap my head about placing a phonecall while driving, but texting while driving is like painting a "I AM A DUMB-ASS" sticker on your forehead.
- AzleGamer, on 10/11/2007, -17/+49Why don't they just admit it was because she was a chick, and not the cell phone?
- Veeoh, on 10/11/2007, -2/+34people who text while driving = retards who should have driving licence revoked as they cant be trusted with a deadly weapon.
- Battleloser, on 10/11/2007, -0/+29How many others will you take with you?
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -24/+50I don't text period.
if you want to talk then call. - adamrgolf, on 10/11/2007, -7/+31good thing you were still able to hit submit.
- f201, on 10/11/2007, -1/+24good thing you were able to kill the joke.
joke killer. - Lewisham, on 10/11/2007, -1/+24This is, without a doubt, the most ***** up thing I have ever read on the internet.
Ever.
There is absolutely no justification for it. That 17% of people voted always in this poll makes me want to vomit. How many people do they have to put in danger before they get a ***** clue? If you want to remove yourself from the gene pool, DO IT IN YOUR OWN HOME TO YOURSELF. DON'T EVER PUT INNOCENT PEOPLE IN DANGER BECAUSE YOU ARE TOO IDIOTIC TO DRIVE. - inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+22The only person I know stupid enough to do this was my friends sister and she filled her non-diesel car up with diesel fuel, cause it was cheaper.
Enough said. - starsky51, on 10/11/2007, -1/+22have the darwin awards taught us nothing?
- Guspaz, on 10/11/2007, -1/+22People who talk on their phone while driving should be fined. People who text while driving should have their licenses revoked for a few years.
I'm pretty sure that texting would be covered by the no-cellphone-use-while-driving-except-handsfree law in Quebec. Probably don't revoke your license, but at least it's something. - inactive, on 10/11/2007, -1/+20multiple times harder than talking.
- Erfman, on 10/11/2007, -2/+20OMG I jst gt ht by a bus! .....
- darthmdh, on 10/11/2007, -0/+18True story: Several years ago I was driving to work, and happened to spot another vehicle being driven by a female with the large tablecloth-sized newspaper spread out in her lap (I could see the edges folding up against the window), a coffee mug in one hand and a makeup kit in the other.
This car was not parked, it was travelling at about 75km/h - elvisshock, on 10/11/2007, -3/+20I am sure no one who has an iPhone does that. Cause if they did, by now they would probably already be dead.
Population reduction : Software based Keyboard FTW !!!! - bupublue, on 10/11/2007, -1/+17But if you're driving, it doesn't make any kind of sense.
- bigtomrodney, on 10/11/2007, -0/+14Yup seen that. I saw a guy doing a crossword puzzle.
- crashflow, on 10/11/2007, -1/+15actually, the steering wheel did.
- M3RCINIAN, on 10/11/2007, -1/+15Not in the UK...
- chrisxkelley, on 10/11/2007, -0/+13lets see. who gives a *****?
anyone? anyone? bueller? - nils, on 10/11/2007, -2/+15In other news, driving while blindfolded may result in accidents too.
Bah - Article dugg down as spam because the "ok this is lame" option seems to have disappeared. - hulez, on 10/11/2007, -2/+15If you text message while driving you deserve to die
- stopthepc, on 10/11/2007, -1/+12Yeee haaaawwww! I am sure that in Indiana it is easy to drive your John Deer tractor and eat, text, probably even sleep. But, in the real world, you would be the guy I run off the road.
Driving is for driving. Texting is for when you don't have to look ahead and pay attention to the road, on coming traffic, little kids chasing balls into the streets, or the cars moving in front of you. The reason we need so much attention is because dopes like you are in front of people like me. Do us all a favor - STOP DRIVING. - flagg85, on 10/11/2007, -0/+11Then slap him.
- bupublue, on 10/11/2007, -1/+12They do it by driving with their knees and not looking at the road. Which is why when they get in an accident I truly hope they slam headfirst into a pole and remove themselves from the gene pool rather than hurting innocents.
- BlackOp, on 10/11/2007, -0/+11I don't text either, but only because everyone seems to love sending me annoying r3trd spk.
- sabach, on 10/11/2007, -0/+11About 12 years ago I witnessed a head-on with a semi, I was about 1/4 mile away and saw a huge cloud of steam from the front end of the car being crushed. The trucker was pretty beat up but seemed OK. I asked if anyone had checked the other driver, nobody was willing to look and if you'd seen the car you'd understand why. Almost the entire front end of the car was in the front seat, I could only see her arm, the rest of her was embedded in the wreckage. I later heard she was doing her make-up in the mirror and crossed the center line.
- mckinnej, on 10/11/2007, -0/+10Take an insurance policy out on her. You'll be collecting soon. It may sound crass, but at least something good will result from her refusal to quit being a dumb ass.
- adamrgolf, on 10/11/2007, -1/+11this server must have been texting when it hit the front page.
- bupublue, on 10/11/2007, -2/+12Well, laws cannot physically stop murder and rape and burgulary, etc., either. That doesn't mean you should do any of those things just to be defiant, which you clearly are. I'm sorry, but if your need to communicate is SO terribly urgent that you can't POSSIBLY pull over for ten seconds to make a call, then perhaps you should reassess what the word "urgent" means. If it is a life or death situation, I'm sure your boss will understand. If not, get a ***** clue and realize that your communication is not important enough to put everyone around you in danger. You and all of your many friends need a swift kick in the ass, along with some rehab for your sick cell phone addiction.
- KungFuJesus, on 10/11/2007, -0/+10***** like you need to be permanently stripped of their licenses. You're putting other people in danger so you can text your friends, wow.
- zadadka, on 10/11/2007, -2/+11What a complete no-brainer.
If you are stupid enough to do this, I just hope the only life you take is your own. - noreturn, on 10/11/2007, -1/+10Natural selections wins again. I've been almost run over enough times by girls on cellphones to feel any sympathy when they get into accidents.
- owlfeathers, on 10/11/2007, -2/+11If someone flipped out their cellphone and started texting someone else while I was talking to them or spending time with them, I'd be pretty pissed. It's rude, no matter how you slice it.
- fuckingusername, on 10/11/2007, -0/+9I bet your the one that sits at the light when it's green
- prockcore, on 10/11/2007, -1/+10afk - car on fire
- bupublue, on 10/11/2007, -0/+8Um, I dunno, what the hell ever happened to listening to the radio? How much freaking stimulation do "u" need at once?
- sail191912, on 10/11/2007, -0/+8I always take the phone from whoever is driving and offer to type & send the SMS.
- thebellmaster1x, on 10/11/2007, -0/+8"i can ... drive intoxicated better than 90%+ of the population can drive sober"
***** you, sir. ***** you to hell. - darthmdh, on 10/11/2007, -1/+9Five dead cheerleaders? Oh crap. There goes the world.
- elnerdo, on 10/11/2007, -0/+8And whoever happens to be in the way.
- bupublue, on 10/11/2007, -1/+9This isn't a behavior you need to "learn", just don't do it! It completely blows my mind how many people here seem to think that their asinine text conversations are so important that they have to engage in them behind the wheel. If you're that addicted to your stupid texts that you have to "learn" not to do them when you're DRIVING, then please for the love of all humanity seek professional help.
- bj00rn, on 10/11/2007, -0/+8What the.............
"We all know the risks of talking on your cell phone while driving, but is texting just as bad?"
Eh...
YES, TEXTING IS REALLY BAD! It is worse than talking at the phone, and in some ways probably even worse than drunk driving. -
