I constantly check my mirrors, I would see you before you saw me

i can't believe the people on this forum that believe texting and driving is safe. I've seen a lot of people on the freeways texting away while drifting into other lanes and slowing down then, when they realize what they are doing, they speed up. Some of them even have kids in the car with them! So dangerous!

It's called expert driving Otherwise just buy Tesla and use Tesla auto drive and let the car follow the road while you use the phone.

by all means continue to practice safe driving.

what i meant is, old schools/people use their celfones for calling but younger ones use theirs for texting/checking/social media etc.

see the difference? boomers use a phone (celfone) primarily for calling.

gen y or millenials and gen x use it primarily to text. calling is just is just for really emergency

Yeah, I get all that, but I wish people would just use the mount for reading, and if they really need to respond to something critical then just pull to the side of the road. I see more people doing that these days, but not enough.

Is that supposed to get me to stop texting and driving? If so, it will not. I will continue doing as I was doing before clicking on that YouTube link
