    I agree with you, texting and/or talking whilst driving (not hands free) is careless, inappropriate and risking others lives.

    There is no need for it at all - that text message or call can wait - it's not life or death, but answering that text could be life or death.

    You most likely can see from my answer that i do not text/talk whilst driving. My safety and my kids safety is more important and others on the road doing this infuriate me as it's my safety/kids safety they are risking by their stupid actions.

    As for texting/walking - i do that often. I may be answering "are you out" my partner wanting me to buy something whilst i'm out, or i'm trying to locate the people i'm catching up with. Sometimes i also "pretend" to text when in shopping centres to avoid eye contact with the annoying stalls/shops in the middle trying to sell or offer things or wanting you to give give give. If i was interested, i'd approach them, not have them harass me.
