  • hey Mr Roberts... I think there needs to be some clarification here. The law states,"A person shall not drive a motor vehicle while using

    an electronic wireless communications device to write, send, or read

    a text-based communication." When you are stationary at a stop light, you are technically not "driving" a motor vehicle. Correct?

  • The law applies regardless of whether a vehicle is stopped at a light or in heavy traffic. Drivers may text- message while parked or legally pulled off the road, regardless of whether the engine is running, the California Highway Patrol says. Stopping on a freeway for reasons other than emergencies is prohibited by state law.

  • Safety tip even hands free devices (such as bluetooths) are dangerous.

  • @promontorium Because when texting, you have to take your eyes off the road.

  • Unlike cell phone usage, which hasn't been shown to increase accidents, several recent major accidents have been directly attributed to TWD. This is seriously stupid behavior.

  • You should do one with people listening to their ipods or headphones on while driving. Is extremely dangerous, you can't hear nothing.

  • Umm, you are still breaking the law using your iPod or iPhone while driving. You will get pulled over and you will be ticketed. Have fun!

  • The impulse to answer the phone is there, as I am a new driver and am used to being driven around. Don't you judge me, you don't know me.

  • That's why I said I would only use it when I get to my destination or a parking lot stopped.

  • wow ur evil dude... u like to see people in deep-shit. lol.

  • The follow-up to this should be a ride-along with the CHP as they stop people for cell-phone use while driving. Zoom in on their reactions as the CHP lights go on to pull them over!
