Most people can not even drive while driving. What could be so pressing that you would want to risk your life or the life of others to say. What is wrong with waiting 5 or 10 minutes. Better yet pull over and text. I have never done it nor would I. I value life a bit more than trivial chit chat.

I rarely text but if I'm in the car I'll pull over and text a few words to let that person (kids or husband only) know I'm driving and I will not be able to text back again.

I don't text. I like to speak with the person. I feel texting is very rude, and it causes many people many accidents and I should say lives too.

No, I don't understand why people would do this when there are hands free devices so you can talk and not take eyes off the road or hands off the wheel.

When stopped at a red light or in rush hour jam, yes. Hate seeing people on the interstate looking at their phones at 70mph or more!

I got a rather important text message yesterday afternoon, and having a new phone, decided to try to answer it with voice dictation instead of pulling over to write a response. It didn't work very well. The voice transcription in modern smartphones is very good but actually activating the feature required more keypresses that I'd feel comfortable doing behind the wheel again.

The voice dictation feature also stayed on and continued to record speech even after I sent the message, so after I said "no bad weather here, thanks for thinking of me," the next message was mangled with my passengers voices: "so I'll e-mail you when I get OH MY GOD YOU GOT ONE OF THEM TALKY PHONES THAT LISTENS TO YOU would you shut up I'm trying to dictate to this thing SHOW ME HOW IT WORKS THAT'S SO COOL would you be quiet you're messing it up! WATCH THE ROAD, DUDE!"

ROFL.
