I also do neither. Driving is dangerous enough as it is without adding another distraction.  Also there is nothing that needs to be said that badly ,that you cannt at least pullover and stop, before getting on the phone.

I try not to text or talk while driving but sometimes the phone rings and it is my husband and I answer to make sure all is ok.  I am getting older so my eyes will not let me text driving anyway!!  but if I had to or something inportant was coming in I would take it and pull over and text back.  Remember to be safe and do not text or talk while driving. :heart:

I will NEVER text.  I will talk if I am hand free and only if it is something quick and important.  Hands free is really nothing different than talking to a passenger in a car, which is many times way way more distracting (like my kids) then talking on a hands free device.

I don't do both.  People who do text or phone while driving are waiting for an accident or death to happen, then they'll learn their lesson.

Texting is something I will never attempt while driving, but i'm not an expert "texter" so I have to look at the keys while texting. Dialing and talking on the phone is a whole different story for me though, it's easy and I never have to take my eyes from the road unlike texting. Anyone that can't handle talking on the phone while driving though probably shouldn't be on the road in the first place!! Driving is more than looking straight ahead, pushing pedals, etc... But that's a completely different conversation that I probably shouldn't start....  ::)

Don't text while driving.
I have hands free for the phone.

I don't text while driving and try to get friends/family to stop if they do.  I would only talk on the phone hands free and only if I feel it's important.

I used to text quite a bit, but I lost my license last year so now I don't do either lol. Plus Oregon passed a no text or talk law last January and I think it's a pretty hefty fine, so I wouldn't do either if I could drive.

I certaintly do not text while driving but i have talked on phone while driving maybe four or five times.  Even then I amke sure it not a long conversation bc if it not an emergency then i tell them i will call then back or put the phone on the seat and pull into lot.  Driving is dangerous enough when are paying attention imagine something taking your attention away from you.  There is nothing i hate worse than for someone to almost hit me while they are on the phone and my kids are in the car

I never text while driving. I have a hands free in my own car when using my mobile, but when using another vehicle I once in a blue moon pick up the phone to tell the recipient I'll have to talk later (I can't multitask too well with the phone and drive). In most circumstances I usually let this go to voicemail and I respond back when I have a chance.
