Driving Ms. Cell Phone

Talk about anything in here.

Rarely do I talk on the phone while driving. Mostly because I hardly ever receive calls in the first place, but I also just don't like using the phone while I'm trying to drive. It's too distracting.

That's pretty much my feeling on the matter, too. I'm a very defensive driver, so I'm not that big a threat. What REALLY concerns me are these fast-driving soccer moms that are holding the cell phone with one hand, holding a jumbo soda with the other, and swerve into my lane without signaling - except to give me the "Hawaiian good luck sign" when I honk at them to avoid hitting them.

Those people should be executed without trial.

This is absolutely honest, but I never ever would dare to use the cell phone while driving. For one, I'm too scared to (I remember while I was practice driving before getting my liscence, I wouldn't dare touch it). Two, I have almost been a victim as a pedestrian of a stupid cell phone driver being distracted and she almost ran me over :mutter:. I was pretty miffed at the time. And three, I remember my mom picked up the ringing cell phone as we were getting off the highway entrance and we almost got in an accident :(.

If ever I need to use the cell phone to ask for directions to get to a new place, I would probably simply just pull off to the side and then use my phone to ask for directions ^^. I doubt you'll ever catch me being on the phone while driving ;).
