I don't really need to sign it anyway because talking while driving has never been my thing. If I'm with the girls, I have one of them answer my phone. If I'm driving in traffic or on the interstate, I never answer it. If I'm in town, I pick it up long enough to say "Can't talk. Driving. Call you back in a minute."<br /><br />That is probably my ONLY virtue, lol!Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13585609641158766024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-933205011038630788.post-67880038657447667682010-01-19T10:11:06.525-05:002010-01-19T10:11:06.525-05:00I watched that episode last night after my Bachelo...I watched that episode last night after my Bachelor fix and...Whoa! I don't text, I'm just not really into it, but I am very guilty of talking on my cell phone in the car. A lot. No more! My cell phone will be staying in my purse from here on out!Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15448250477601331161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-933205011038630788.post-43755891956654960602010-01-19T10:08:31.824-05:002010-01-19T10:08:31.824-05:00Gee -- I didn't cry either when I heard she wa...Gee -- I didn't cry either when I heard she was retiring!<br /><br />I can count on one hand the number of times I've talked on my phone while driving -- most often it concerned a very sick kid. It stays in my purse where I can't hear it ring/vibrate. Part of this is just because I don't use my cell very often. The reason I have it is every school and daycare can reach me regardless of where I am (work, home, dr, hospital...)<br /><br />I tell my girls (9 & 11) I'm not driving a phone booth, it's a car! At which point they had to ask what a phone booth was (a generational gap here!)Janetnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-933205011038630788.post-7965871301837905702010-01-19T09:14:19.622-05:002010-01-19T09:14:19.622-05:00I try to avoid it if I can. but I'm bad about...I try to avoid it if I can. but I'm bad about texting at stoplights.

I know it is dangerous - I've swerved WAY too many times doing it... I need to stay aware of everyone else texting while driving!Rebecca Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03965781380511208862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-933205011038630788.post-25740915964130908672010-01-19T08:44:23.933-05:002010-01-19T08:44:23.933-05:00I agree with you.

There are enough distractions on the road and to add phone calls and texting-- just complicates things. <br /><br />I agree-- if everyone makes the effort-- we'll all be a lot safer!<br /><br />Good post:)Indianapolis Amyhttp://www.indianapolisamy.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-933205011038630788.post-2931897683672067052010-01-19T08:40:39.463-05:002010-01-19T08:40:39.463-05:00I don't talk while driving often, but I DO do ...I don't talk while driving often, but I DO do it. I always feel incredibly guilty every time, too. <br />It's never for long, because we're only on prepaid plans.
