Don't know what was going on today but I saw 5 accidents within 2 miles of my house.... It is just plain scary out there any more.

During the actual call, sure they're probably about the same. When non-hands free is dialing though there will be a huge difference. Saying, "call Jimmy" has to be safer than looking away from the road for 10 seconds to dial a number or send a text. Last edited by trademaster; 04-24-2015 at 08:36 PM. |

Have you seen the Chevy commercial showing how you can "text" a pre-typed phrase to a person who sent you a text? You choose the response from a list that shows up on the car's touch screen. I think it is stupid to have to use the touch screen since the car has Bluetooth. Wouldn't it be easier to say "Send reply I will call you back" or something.

What did people do before cell phones when driving?? Smh! It's illegal in Austin Texas to have phone up for texting or talking as of January 2015 but it is not being enforced by Apd. It's a shame,methinks of all the revenue collected, decrease in accidents, injuries and fatalities.

Cell phone is off when I drive, the laws need to be enforced, plain and simple. for that matter doing anything other than driving when your behind the wheel should be against the law in my book. Putting on make-up, eating, you name it. when one of these schmucks are in front of me I would like to drag them out of the car and smack them up beside the head!!

Watched a woman blow through a red light, slid to a halt in the middle of the intersection, and proceeded when all of the other traffic cleared. At the next light, she was still texting and didn't go at the green until I honked my horn. Another kid was texting away, head down, when I thought I would have a little fun. Revved the engine a little and eased forward, the kid never looked up and just took off, right through the red light. I could have killed the poor kid screwing around, I learned my lesson, but I bet he didn't learn his.

In my business, it is important that I do not miss calls... but I have a hands-free device in my hear that operates on voice commands. I can just say, "Answer call," and it does and I don't have to use my hands at all, or look away from the road. You are in Cedar Park, which is Williamson County where there is no cell phone law yet. The law is in Austin (Travis County), at least at the moment. I will say that the last time I flew to San Diego, I was amazed that nobody on the road was using their phone. It must be working in California (?).
