Why do people say texting while driving is so dangerous?

Instead of making it illegal shouldn't we just teach people how to properly text while driving?

It can be done safely. I should know since I do it all the time and have yet to get into an accident. I can actually text with one hand and either smoke or open a beer with the other hand while driving and still never crash.

I actually think they should teach it in drivers ed so teens are good at texting while driving before they get a license.

Are you seriously asking this, do i need to bring up the thousands of
deaths is crap has caused. put the fone down.

because it takes your attention off the road. It's also against the law in the state of California.


Selena Gomez rocks!
When you're texting, your eyes are on the screen looking at words. Your eye are not on the road so you can cause danger.

-_____- It's because of people like you that people die every day. Ridiculous. You ext with one hand and open a beer or kill yourself with a cigarette with the other!? It only takes a second to cost someone their life. Stop asking stupid questions and get a clue.

How cute...you must be like 21, 22...it so shows dude.

Because their eyes are not on the road, genius. Also, drinking while driving is also illegal.

You're an idiot freak for texting while driving, there is absolutely zero need to.

Hope you hit a tree.

What a cletus.

It is simple. A texting driver isn't paying attention to the road and could potentially hit and kill someone regardless they are in a car or on foot. Second, both of a texting driver's hands are not on the wheel where they are supposed to be, therefore they do not have good control of their vehicle. I think drivers who text are idiots who do not belong on the road because they can seriously injure or kill someone.

Really?! Dude! come on....I dont know where you got your license, but that is the stuppidest question ever! NOTHING can be done safely when your not looking at the road. The day you get into a car reck, that'll be the day you stop texting while driving....or drinking a beer!! ugh! I hope soon you get you get your license provoked!!!
sad, sad!

When you're texting, you aren't paying attention to the road, you're paying attention to your phone.
What if a child steps in front of you for the second that you look down at your phone?
What happens if you run into something on the road?

And your opinion is really mature and should be listened too, especially the part where you say, "Open a beer with the other hand while driving and still never crash."

Nice.

I'm sure my friend's parents want their child back, the result of getting in a accident.

No text is THAT important that you can't wait until you're at a red light or until you get home or to your destination.

It's because most people can't do both at the same time... They need to look at the screen of their phones to check...
checking phone = not looking at where he / she is going = higher chance of accidents...

Hey... Why don't you teach those people who can't text and drive???
Think about it... You can earn money, be a bad-*** teacher for those people, and go to jail after getting caught... =p

Maybe in there you can convince people that texting while driving is okay... :)
If not... Just enjoy the scenery in there...

Driving is not a teen age "thing". People should be responsible and know by common sense that this is a dangerous activity.


andyhi696
Are you serious? it does not matter how good a driver you think you are there is some other idiot (who also thinks they can do all sorts of things while driving a car) out there not paying attention to what they are doing either looking for someone to have a crash with.
I hope that you don't live anywhere near me

Are you serious? It might be legal in the US to do this kind of thing but certainly not in the UK.
You are an accident waiting to happen.

Oh my God this is the most ridiculous question, there is no way you can be serious. Doing any activity where you take your eyes of the road is dangerous. Texting while driving is pretty much the same as reading a book while driving yet no sane person would attempt that.
Also you have a beer in one hand and your mobile in the other? You don't deserve to have a license!

Just because you have not been in a accident while texting, does not mean it is safe. Looking at the phone while driving distracts drivers, it only takes a single millisecond for something to go bad.

Yeah they should totally teach the proper technique. I bet all of the morons that crash while texting are sitting there staring at their phone, taking 5 minutes to type "will you blow me later?". They obviously were never taught the proper way of doing things. You can text with one hand without even looking at your phone. If you get a text message, it takes a nano second to read it. It takes longer than that to find a good station on the radio. Maybe they should remove radios out of the car, too.
