trisha,
I am very happy you changed and you weren’t hurt. Someone could have ran into you. Have a safe day!

i travel by public transport, if i drove one i dont think i would have risked talking/texting while driving.

Heather,
It is hard to tell a parent not to do something. And it is harder for them to listen.

I hope she can hear you now.

I am glad you don’t use the cell phone while driving.

Have a great safe day!

Gerardine

Her answer is always yes. I get mad and hang up! I don’t want to be the one that has distracted her and possible got her in an accident. I just can’t get across to her how dangerous it is and stop answering the phone while driving!

I think I need to direct her to your post!

No worries of me using my cell phone while driving!

Dennis the Vizsla,
That is great you don’t answer when driving! I have seen people on their cells, eating, smoking and reading the paper at the same time. They drove all over the road.
Thank you for commenting.

It is now illegal to talk on the phone here without using a hands-free device, but the law is routinely ignored, and besides, studies have shown that talking hands-free is no less distracting than talking with the phone pressed to your ear. So when I’m in the car and the phone rings, it just goes to voice mail.

I hope you are doing well. It can take a long time to come back from one. Sometimes that never happens.
Have a great Weekend..a great ‘safe’ weekend!
