Of course having children in a car is dangerous and a huge distraction. Somebody's gotta yell "BREATHE!" and "PUSH" and watch for the baby's head and then be there immediately to cut the cord.

Come on, you missed out on Phonedawgz driving his Pink Durango....
For the record, my Ford Fusion has Sync, steering controls etc that allow my eyes on the road. I have TXT disabled on both the family phones.
My pet peeve with drivers is those who stick to the speed limit, but roll through stop signs.....

Yes, text and drive you are effing dumb.
Correct, nothing to argue about, phonedawgz posts are so stupid I worry about contagion.
Most phrase it much better than I, but needed to check in just to add how effing stupid phonedawgz attitude is. Thank you for the opportunity, rarely do I get to be rude without any niggling doubts at all about being in the right.
Nothing else printable, so again I thank phonedawgz for being ignorant enough for this guilt free vent, dead people turn gray, too, don't make it OK.

I gotta wonder, with all the good tech info phonedawgz posted, how many of those posts were done while driving?
Nothing wrong with taking an occasional stupid pill. Sure it hurts when you go public under the influence, but it is not fatal.
Of course if you cannot take the consequences do not swallow the stupid pill and get beligerent with the results.
Instead of "oops, a fu..up" you decided to take the stupid pill with a stupid chaser and follow through with actions harder to reconcile. Sure does make you look like a puss, or is that what is going on? Are you a puss with a hurt vagina and you aren't going to play 'cause of a stupid stand you took?
Ha Ha Ha I'm not even mad 'cause you advocate deadly driving. You a pity full joke now and I just gotta smile.
For those new to this thread, phonedawgz started a new thread where he quits PFF over this thread and recommends everybody quit. snicker snicker

Just because he can't take the heat, for being wrong, he wants everyone to leave? All he had to do was man up to being wrong and all would have been forgiven. He reminds me of Cartman and sounds about as mature as him too.

So he admits to being a liar and jokes about it? I wouldn't worry about his promise to leave then. Even I said it once, as have others. In the end we all came back, except for one who shall remain unmentioned.

My thoughts exactly!
I saw this in O/T the other day but never did I think it'd end up in the trash can.
I'm guilty. I text while driving. Eer, I did.
I got a new phone about a month ago that makes it almost impossible for me to text and drive at the same time. It's one of those touch-screen "smart" phone things. Right after I got it I was attempting to reply to a text message when I almost ran off the side of the road, corrected to stay on the road and jerked the wheel a little too hard and felt just how top heavy my SUV really is. Thankfully I didn't flip over but I sure thought I was going to. At that point, I realized I needed to learn how to use the voice option that comes on my phone. I can speak into it and it will type a text out with what I tell it too. It's a little frustrating at first, but once I learned how picky the voice command was it was smooth sailing. I typically will not send a text now unless I am stopped at a light or something...it's just too dangerous!
My last phone that I had I didn't even have to look down at the phone while I was texting. Was it safe? HECK NO...did I do it anyway? YEP
Texting and driving is stupid. Drinking and driving is stupid. Playing with your radio/ipod while driving is stupid. Speeding is stupid. Eating while driving is stupid.

Bravo Sarah! Your should be commended because you are smart enough to learn from your mistakes, you don't encourage others to repeat them, and you don't try to make excuses for what you did.
