Crazy that we have to do that ... there is a youtube video (I can't access it at work, so can't find the link right now) of a teenaged girl texting while walking in a mall ... and she walks right into a fountain ... loses her phone in the water and everything ... I watched it about 10 times in a row and almost split a gut laughing ... (No, she's not hurt) ... but it is funny! PAY ATTENTION PEOPLE!!!! LOL

I guess I'm just from the old school. I purchased my phone to talk on, not to text- I have my computer, a typewriter-yes a typewriter and my pen or pencil to do that with. In 2009 my brother was on his way to the hospital for surgery and his son was with him. I was on my way to the town where they were going also, we both had a long drive to get there, my drive was a good bit longer than theirs. I was about 30 miles from the town and called my nephew to ask that he call me when they arrived at the hospital so I would know what room to go to when I arrived. He politely told me he would text me and let me know. I informed him I didn't text and he said he would teach me when I arrived. I replied that could learn myself but had no intentions of doing so. Neither of us were trying to be ugly with our responses, but as I said before, I bought my phone to talk on, not to type on. I still don' t text!

I used to be a Mall Manager. I watched a woman texting on her phone walk straight into a fountain.....and unfortunately, I have seen texting people drive others off the road.,.,head down and not seeing the road, Amazing.
Can't wait for Texas to pass the non texting while drive law.

I never text while driving, I call always. Its too easy to veer off the road and cause an accident. Every one in the family knows when I am on the road, call-if you don't get me leave a message and when I stop I will call you back (usually that is due to cell service!).

In Orlando, FL they installed the round-abouts. True you had to slow down to get around them but it was a real pain for the fire engines to get around them as they are long. Though it did keep out the tractor trailers from using it as a pass-thru. Too many drunks though forgot about these "bumps in the road" and tried to drive right thru them. Needless to say, they didn't make it...............teehee.
