I think driving and texting is about as bad as drunk driving, to be honest.
Looking at your phone at a red light. Ok enough so long as you move when it's green. Using your phone for GPS, that's great.
Texting, reading, etc.. no. Taking your eyes off the road is just too dangerous. Every day I see someone being stupid.. either driving 10-15MPH slower than everyone else, weaving, moving out of their lanes.. all while on their phones. One lady almost swerved into me while on her phone and after I laid on my horn for a good 20 seconds, then changed lanes to get past her, she's STILL ON HER PHONE!!!!!! Seriously, I'd have put my phone down in total shame after that.
I see delivery guys, maintenance/plumbers all on their phones (maybe heading to next job??) and they drive like crap.
Seriously, if it was a fine, cities could make a cool Million bucks in a day. I'm to the point where I actually get made when my wife or the kid starts to text me while I'm in the car. I'll call them and say, stop texting me stuff, I'm driving. What do you need?
