For those of you with AT&T, I would strongly recommend downloading their free "Drive Mode" app for your smartphone. It makes a lot of sense and while it's not perfect (see last paragraph about "Allow List" below), it works pretty well for me! ...
Thanks for the info. I didn't know about that. I'd rep you, but apparently I did for something else recently.
speeding is fun, besides the only speed that kills is pharmaceutical.
I love speeding, both for the sensation of the speed and also from being outside the law by a wide margin. The risk of getting into trouble is a big part of what makes it fun. I've never outgrown that.
Young people never seem to learn the easy way, they always want to go to the school of hard knocks!
Anyway it DOES NOT MATTER what you say, what matters is what the cop says he saw you doing. Judges listen to cops.
Also can you say DUH? (You might be interested to know that digital devices and your cell phone provider have an ELECTRONIC RECORD of exactly what you were doing and at what time you were doing it!)
Not to mention many businesses have cameras these days, which many times capture things happening in the street or across the street. So if you are texting and kill someone, chances are high you will be on video and definite that there will be an electronic record of what you were doing.
I don't do it but I sure am worried about the other people that do and may kill me......
I can bet you that the car that sits at a traffic light and doesn't go when it turns green, is a driver on a cell phone. It never fails. They are like zombies.
I had a guy make a right turn in front of me the other morning and I almost hit him as I came through the light. Of course, he was on a cell phone. Stayed on it, too, for many blocks, poking along.....
even talking on phone while driving makes you distracted - drivers think they can do it because either they drive at a speed (usually below speed limit) and don't give a damn to traffic behind and in front (so basically everyone else is making sure driver on phone can drive) or they divert attention constantly between phone and the road (when they want to change lane they stop talking or kind of pause and look at the road and other times they are simply driving and not looking around at all and simply focused on the phone). Obviously even this is very dangerous now texting - I don't even know how it is possible for people to do it. It really is a shocking news for me that people can do it.

Not sure if T-Mobile, Verizon and the rest have a similar driving mode app, but hopefully they do!
