Tennessee drivers text more while driving than all others (?) - article

I see folks texting on I-40 between Knoxville and Nashville all the time.

The guilty culprits are usually going more than 80 mph and look quite young.

I try to give them a W I D E berth!!!

It takes all my concentration to do one or the other... lol.... I don't have enough brain power to do both at the same time.

Haha... I'm surprised the poll takers think we (ol' TN country hicks) have enough technology to text anyway....lol

I do NOT text while driving. If someone sends me a text msg I call them and say "I'm driving down the road what do you want?"

I don't even like texting while sitting at home & am doing nothing. I prefer to just call someone & tell them what I want them to know. Now every now & then texting is ok. Like if I am at work (I work at a truck stop) & need to find the other person working with me I will send them a text saying something like "Help please". But overall I hate texting.

Like I tell my kids, I'm text illiterate.

If I ever wanted to text someone. It would take me a half hour to figure the darn thing out to send a simple message.

I don't text and drive, but if Tennessee has such bad habbits and bent & twisted ways, then why on earth are so many folks either moving here ... or wanting to?
