I am a 57 year old woman, well educated and travelled. I am well informed in general. I listen to NPR, watch CNN, read the LA Times as well as the NY Times. I vote in every election. I am a mother, a wife, a teacher.
I also have a beloved iPhone.
I will say honestly that I have texted two times in the last month while driving. You know. Just a few words. I have used my \"hands free\" device every work day to make \"neccessary\" phone calls. My hands free device has fallen out of my ear so I had to reach to pick it back up, taking my eyes off the road, many times.
I beleive talking on the phone is extremely distracting and should be against the law.
What if someone called you to tell you a loved one had been killed by a texting driver?
Do you think you can really drive well and watch out for dangerous drivers while someone is telling you about Aunt Mary's latest faux pas or your date is telling you he wants to get married?
There has got to be a way to stop me (and others) from texting and talking on the phone. Maybe random searcheds by police? Lets say it was illegal to have a phone in the car. Maybe cars could have a signal to remove a phone from a car before it will drive. I am deadly serious.
