Its already Illegal to talk and text while driving in WA (unless its hands free)...I have seen so many stupid car crashes from people txting and talking.
Do you talk or text while driving?

My phone sync's to my ford, hands never leave the wheel. I have 55w HID high beams so when somebody is holding a lane they get the brights. Texting is illegal here in Alaska too, but it's almost impossible to enforce.
I talked while driving. Not hands free either but well, thats just stupid to think that hands free makes it all perfect. MD its illegal and PA but most people(including 90% of cops) do it anyway.
People that think the talking on a phone and driving cause all these crashes entertain me. Never mind studys that say that simply talking to your passenger has the SAME effect on your driving. SO I guess shut up, turn off your radio and drive. There is a sign near where I work that has a pic of a guys destroyed car and a message that says he was talking and driving and died and to hang up and drive. What the sign fails to mention quite well is the fact that yes he was talking on his phone but he also had a BAC of well over twice the legal limit. SO yeah talking was his problem

Talk, text, and email but not as much as when I had my bb, can't type by feel on touch screens. My attention is always on the road so half my texts are typos and I usually have to ask people a lot of stuff.
I rarely talk on my phone while driving and almost never text while driving; the only time I'll text is when I am right at red lights that I know take a few minutes to go green.
I've been passed by cops going 10-15 mph over the speed limit while they were on their computers and driving; now there's something that's really scary!

I really thought you were going to post this story that's circulating online today:

I try not to do either. Conversations are short or I just call the person when I get home. I am guilty of sending a quick text once in a while, but try to only do it at a red light. I probably shouldn't at all!
I am texting challenged and very rarely do it at all(less then 10 times total) and have never done it while driving.
I try hard not to talk while driving. 95% of calls are incoming.
