    Do you use your cell while driving?
    Do you think it impacts your driving?
    If it was illegal, would you still do it?

    Luckily my car has built in blue-tooth and it is great.

    As for texting, I've been trying to cut back

    I use my cell when driving

    I don't believe that, by itself, affects my driving. I sometimes have a conversation that pisses me off and that affects my driving

    Last week I was getting really annoyed with bad drivers and was noticing that most were women on the phone. So the next light I came to I turned and looked at the line of cars to see who was on the phone. I counted 7 women all on phones and 2 men who weren't. This fucking tilted me and I'm sure that's prolly pretty standard.
    These people are just off in there own world and are damn near oblivious to the things around them. No help to this thread but it was nice to vent.

    I will answer the phone when driving. My job involves driving all day. Its pretty easy to pick up the phone and flick it open with out taking eyes off road. When I am dialing. I wait till I get to a red light or pull over first. Unless it is someone I have on speed dial. I also use a palm pc. I do pull over to fill out the info and load next order before i start driving.

    i try not to use it at all, but do. also almost always use headset or speaker when i do. if i text, its like one letter at a time and always look all around and try to stay aware.

    tbs, i def think it effects my driving and know it is not safe, even tho i try to be safe.
