Today, my mother and I went out to buy my dad a new guitar amp, and we had to go highway driving to get to the good guitar shop.

While we were on our way there, I counted six people at least who had their noses stuck in their cell phones. Texting.

Yes, texting. I shit you not.

It wouldn't be as bad if they were at least trying to pay attention to the road, but the technological devices have their full attention, and the car is swerving all over the dam road.

WTF Shouldn't there be a law about this crap?! They're more dangerous than a drunk driver! okay, maybe not, but work with me here!

When I'm driving, I won't even THINK about texting someone! The most I do is adjust the air conditioning or turn the radio off. Not pressing buttons on the phone directly in my line of vision so I can't see the road.

Anyone encounter these geniuses lately? :[

Yes. Speeding through a parking lot at about 30 MPH while jabbering away. I saw someone eating from a dinner plate while driving, once, though. Knife and fork cutting at a piece of meat. At least he was paying attention to the road, I guess.

I'm not allowed to talk on my phone while driving :P If my phone rings I just throw my phone back at my brother and tell him to answer xD

Knife and fork? What the hell? XD You know, there is such a thing as fast food. Eliminates the need for utensils :P

I hate seeing people put make-up on while driving :[ I'm sure there will be plenty of red lights during your commute. Don't endanger other people's lives just because you woke up too late.

There is a law in Delaware. They already banned texting while driving. They are now working on banning talking on the phone while driving. I'm a volunteer fire fighter and EMT. I encounter a lot of dumbasses texting while driving

We have that 'no phones at all while driving' law here.

People still do it. So I usually yell at them when my mum drives past. .. With the window up. And when they're not looking. :c

I hate when people are on their phone while driving.

Imo, you should only do it if there's an emergency.

My mom got hit a few years ago by some stupid woman who was texting. Turns out she used to go to our church. She was 38 years old at the time. You'd think she would have know better.

I actually saw an 80 year old texting.

I was all, 'Really? You shouldn't be driving as it is, old timer!'

My ex-roomie used to text while driving all the time, at speeds of like 70-90 mph.

I finally grabbed the thing from her and basically said, "Look, I don't care how engrossing/important/erotic your conversation with your boyfriend/girlfriend/partner-of-the-week is, I WILL NOT DIE. Do that on your own time."

I saw someone trimming their hair while they were driving. I shit you not.

I saw them in their rear view mirror... just snipping away at their hair, probably driving with their knees.

...

I laughed. I mean, sure, I could have been killed, but it was hilarious.

There is a law against using cell-phones in cars where I live. However, I still see people chatting/texting away. :/ It is really stupid.

Where are these laws in PA? D:

On Mythbusters they proved that talking on your cellphone while driving is just as bad as driving drunk.

I see people texting while driving all the time here. :c It's like 'what is so important that you must text in the middle of the freeway?!'

_ <-- i have no idea what that face is but i use it all the time anyways.
