It also bothers me when I see other do it, it's not just their lives they are risking but other innocent people on the road. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-so-ever-text-and-drive#post-1329260 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 19:21:34 +0000 MrsStar 1329260@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope I never do, dh does at lights and it annoys the crap out of me. My mum showed me this clip on youtube when I was learning to drive and I vowed never to do it.

Not to a teenager level, but it is so dangerous and it drives me insane! </p> <p>I hope that once our LO comes and my nagging will make him realize how dangerous it is. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-so-ever-text-and-drive#post-1329014 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 17:11:58 +0000 snowjewelz 1329014@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH has handsfree in his car; I don't so I only glance at my phone at lights. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-so-ever-text-and-drive#post-1329002 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 17:04:19 +0000 pinkcupcake 1329002@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never, ever. So dangerous. And it pisses me off when I see people do it. I'm so paranoid about driving , especially now that I have my precious cargo in the back, and I feel like I'm always super on edge when I drive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-so-ever-text-and-drive#post-1328997 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 17:00:53 +0000 GrapeCrush 1328997@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: yes, he is, thanks for asking.

I'm too nervous I'll get in an accident. I need to start not checking it at the light too. DH never does. He was hit by a truck while riding his bicycle a few years ago, and is extra cautious driving now </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-so-ever-text-and-drive#post-1328963 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 16:48:16 +0000 rachiecakes 1328963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Twine: I remember hearing that!

So only if we are parked somewhere. He listened to a program on NPR that demonstrated that using your phone while driving was, in many ways, worse than driving drunk! I'll hunt for the study. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-so-ever-text-and-drive#post-1328935 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 16:41:33 +0000 mrbee 1328935@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pui: Pretty scary!!

In fact, I get ragey at other drivers near me when I see them texting or whatever because I'm so afraid they're going to hit us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-so-ever-text-and-drive#post-1328909 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 16:31:08 +0000 pui 1328909@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The only thing I use my phone for while driving is GPS and I use the voice navigation.</p> <p>My DH often uses Google Maps while driving which drives me crazy. I try to help him, hold the phone for him, ect but he insists most of the time on doing it himself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-so-ever-text-and-drive#post-1328906 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 16:27:54 +0000 BSB 1328906@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: Yeah, it is distracted driving.</p> <p>Now I'm curious how many people use a handsfree device or Siri vs people who don't touch their phones at all.</p> <p>ETA: I use the Waze app, and sometimes I am distracted by it. I do have a nice Proclip Iphone holder so it is handsfree. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-so-ever-text-and-drive#post-1328904 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 16:26:22 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1328904@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm guilty. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-so-ever-text-and-drive#post-1328902 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 16:24:51 +0000 mrbee 1328902@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sunny: That is some fancy Siri usage right there!!

I try not to text him if I know he is driving.</p> <p>[attach=147/14/mz3ohy.600x338.image.jpg]</p> <p>Not the most flattering picture of me but the picture of my dog is hilarious. She looks so serious!</p> <p>I sent this to my friends and family and my sister used this picture when she thought my other sister was texting while driving. Turns out my other sister was using siri to text. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-so-ever-text-and-drive#post-1328799 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 15:44:57 +0000 prettylizy 1328799@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'll check a text at a light or directions. Sometimes I'll use talk to text to send a message too but it's something like "Picking up milk, see you in 10" not a HB post response! lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-so-ever-text-and-drive#post-1328790 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 15:43:19 +0000 Bao 1328790@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We will occasionally check it at a light, just what's on the main screen not going in and checking emails/FB. I used to actually attempt to text while my vehicle was in motion as a teen, I'm glad nothing happened! </p>
