[JamesBenUT]

1 in 4 Americans is texting while driving: poll

"The Hall of Shame went to Tennessee where 42 percent admit to indulging in the dangerous behavior"

Maybe Tennesseans are just more honest than most.

These people always seem to find their way into the left lane too. Is texting while driving more dangerous than rolling a joint while driving?

While driving? That doesn't seem like it would be any safer.

How can the poleese prove you are texting while driving?

In some cases, they have subpoenaed cell phone records after an accident, to see if they were either on the phone or recently sent/received a text around the time of the accident.

Wonder if this guy was texting?

Thats okay for crashes but for citations... I guess it will be up to the defendants to get their records if they are innocent. Total waste of time!

which is statistically stupid because you can't identify who was on the phone or texting unless there was a lone driver.

My wife regularly uses / texts from my phone when we are in the car.

That's a good point. If the driver isn't alone, surely the burden of proof remains with the State. I know lots of couples or even friends that use each others' phones while driving.

but, the stats will be passed off as gospel, even though those using them to support their worldview know better.

Exactly, unenforcible in my book and I have better things to do!

Well then punch yourself in the face before you leave work.

 

[allvol123]

I use hands free texting.

I agree. It would be a lot easier if the offenders would just punch themselves in the face and self correct.
