Also just installed bluetooth between my car and phone so I can dial by voice (for calls). Now to figure out how to text by voice! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-text-and-drive#post-67502 Sun, 05 Feb 2012 09:24:12 +0000 looch 67502@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't drive a lot, but I don't even think about my phone when I am driving. It stays in my purse and all calls and texts can wait until I am in a parking lot or at my destination. I have enough to worry about when driving, especially watching out for everyone else who is driving while using their phone in any capacity. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-text-and-drive#post-67460 Sun, 05 Feb 2012 00:16:10 +0000 MsMini 67460@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It is illegal here, and I don't do it. DH gets so mad when he sees people doing it he confronts them and usually reports them to the police. If you leave a written statement that you saw someone texting and driving they will fine them up to $400 per offence. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-text-and-drive#post-67449 Sat, 04 Feb 2012 23:23:12 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 67449@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Using your phone and driving are illegal in Ontario, but I admit that SOMETIMES I will check my texts while I'm driving. I find it really hard to text on my iPhone while I'm driving, so that keeps me from being dangerous. I have a friend who texts and drives with her baby in the car, and I think that's crazy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-text-and-drive#post-67399 Sat, 04 Feb 2012 20:25:45 +0000 chopsuey 67399@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Seriously. An accident can happen in a split second! Not worth the risk--especially since we always have LO in the car with us! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-text-and-drive#post-67396 Sat, 04 Feb 2012 20:23:37 +0000 enjollah 67396@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JustlikeHeaven: from cali here too and do the same! I keep it low in my lap though just in case there's a cop lurking around... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-text-and-drive#post-67334 Sat, 04 Feb 2012 19:17:57 +0000 Beyond2 67334@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel like an awful person after reading all of these responses, but I have been guilty of texting and driving :-/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-text-and-drive#post-67276 Sat, 04 Feb 2012 16:50:35 +0000 sulli301 67276@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's illegal to do it here. I have done it a couple of times with siri but I try really hard to just leave it in my bag &amp; have the bluetooth on for phone calls. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-text-and-drive#post-67219 Sat, 04 Feb 2012 13:58:56 +0000 Andrea 67219@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Guilty but only when stopped. I know it is so bad. Must stop! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-text-and-drive#post-67207 Sat, 04 Feb 2012 13:27:47 +0000 calsmom 67207@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never. That crap can wait. Even though it is against the law, I see so many people texting while driving here and it annoys me. Drivers here are horrible enough as it is without being distracted by a cell phone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-text-and-drive#post-67202 Sat, 04 Feb 2012 13:22:19 +0000 Boogs 67202@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm also guilty of doing it at red lights. Not always, just when there is something that needs to be answered quickly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-text-and-drive#post-67199 Sat, 04 Feb 2012 13:14:40 +0000 yin 67199@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Also illegal here in Delaware, but I catch people on their cell phones all the time. It irks me. Ever since watching Seven Pounds, I am very against the use of cell phones in the car. I used to text at stop lights, but I realized that if it's really important I should just stop somewhere and call that person instead. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-text-and-drive#post-67190 Sat, 04 Feb 2012 12:26:25 +0000 winniebee 67190@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In MA, texting and driving is a violation!</p> <p>But, I occasionally do it at red lights. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-text-and-drive#post-67187 Sat, 04 Feb 2012 12:16:09 +0000 BSB 67187@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only do it at red lights. I do wish I had the iPhone 4s with Siri. I have the 4 now. I need to wait a little while to get the 4s or maybe the 5 when it comes out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-text-and-drive#post-67143 Sat, 04 Feb 2012 10:18:22 +0000 mrsjyw 67143@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, I have the in-car stereo plug in thing, so I just call someone if it's urgent, and if not, text them when I'm not driving. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-text-and-drive#post-67124 Sat, 04 Feb 2012 09:38:49 +0000 heffalump 67124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No way. I have a feeling hubby does... I get so mad at him when he's on his phone while driving! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-text-and-drive#post-66867 Fri, 03 Feb 2012 17:47:19 +0000 BoogieBea 66867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't. I'll use siri to make calls. My husband used to text/browse web when he was at stop lights at such. I used to get so annoyed at him for that. I just pull over if I must text/look up something. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-text-and-drive#post-66864 Fri, 03 Feb 2012 17:43:13 +0000 Rubies 66864@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's illegal here! $155 fine. I never did, though. It scares me when I see people do it...You can always tell who's on their phone - they drive slower and swervy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-text-and-drive#post-66858 Fri, 03 Feb 2012 17:25:41 +0000 cupcakemama 66858@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's illegal here to talk on your phone while driving, unless using hands free, let alone text. How on earth can you concentrate on driving when you are texting??! It's just insane and really frightening when you think of the damage you can do with a car at any speed. The text message is that important to risk your - and other people's- lives? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-text-and-drive#post-66856 Fri, 03 Feb 2012 17:23:26 +0000 Alivoo01 66856@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't text while driving, but like you, totally text at lights! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-text-and-drive#post-66842 Fri, 03 Feb 2012 17:09:35 +0000 tequiero21 66842@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i don't have text on my phone - want it that way! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-text-and-drive#post-66817 Fri, 03 Feb 2012 16:31:23 +0000 aMohror 66817@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to be totally guilty of this! I got a new car a few years back and stopped texting while driving! Sometime I will read a message but wait to text back. I always tell myself it can wait and it's not worth the risk! I have a manual so I don't talk on my phone either, it proves to be difficult sometimes! I try not to text at lights either because I always get behind people that do and they don't go when the light turns green! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-text-and-drive#post-66795 Fri, 03 Feb 2012 16:08:11 +0000 Rescuemom10 66795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I dont. Unless I am stopped. Even then I dont like to. The only thing I SOMETIMES will text is to my husband or whoever is "OMW" (on my way). But usually like to send that before I actually start driving. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-text-and-drive#post-66792 Fri, 03 Feb 2012 16:07:34 +0000 Shutterbug 66792@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not since getting my iPhone - I let Siri do it for me </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-text-and-drive#post-66789 Fri, 03 Feb 2012 16:06:09 +0000 abbydabbydoodlebug 66789@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I totally will do it at long red lights only. The law here in TX just changed to no texting unless you're at a red light, so I'm good! :) </p> <p>I used to text all the time while driving though before they passed the law and I was fairly safe about it. Only when there were no cars around me on the highway. But now that I can't do that, I realized there's no rush to text someone. If I *really* have to, I'll use my voice-to-text. I don't miss it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-text-and-drive#post-66766 Fri, 03 Feb 2012 15:41:27 +0000 DpeachLu 66766@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It is illegal in California.<br /> I do it at stops and lights too though. In California :-O ! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-text-and-drive#post-66765 Fri, 03 Feb 2012 15:40:07 +0000 LuLu Mom 66765@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, this was my New Years Resolution. I leave my phone in my purse, if someone calls me I have the Sync system so it is handsfree. I caught myself texting/facebooking last year when driving...totally dangerous so I stopped all together!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-text-and-drive#post-66753 Fri, 03 Feb 2012 15:32:25 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 66753@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't text and drive. It scares me when others do it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-text-and-drive#post-66743 Fri, 03 Feb 2012 15:26:22 +0000 googly-eyes 66743@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same as you, at lights! </p>
