Texting while driving

How is talking on your handsfree any different to having a conversation with a passenger ? Arguing with kids in the back seat?

I don't look down when I txt, I don't txt in city traffic...well I do at red lights.

Paranoid over cautious reactive drivers are just as dangerous, someone who's watching for that car to swerve, so when a car wanders off line a little, they've already decided that person is going to kill them and have jammed the breaks on or swerved themselves.

Sure, I don't think txting n driving is safe, but there's a whole lot of other dangers out there.

Yes. There are.

So why would you want to add to them?

FYI -

"If a fatal accident is caused by the driver's unconsciousness as a result of a medical condition, such as an epileptic seizure, or by falling asleep at the wheel, criminal liability for involuntary manslaughter can be imposed. That is so because of the recklessness or culpable negligence of operating an automobile while in such a condition."
