[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I know it's not voice because DS told me he sees her typing and picking up texts when the phone pings. The ones she has sent to me are not necessary, like "running late." An example was along the lines of "Your DS told me he has a great guitar teacher. I need one for DD can you recommend"
The problem I have with texting at a light is that there's too much tendency to finish up the text just as you're accelerating, or puck the phone back up to finish as you're rolling to the next stop, etc. it's distracted driving. 
But we can disagree about whether this is safe and appropriate. Assume it's something you feel is unsafe. How do you diplomatically handle the situation with the other driver?[/quote]

NP.  You've articulated perfectly how and why texting at red lights is dangerous.  I wouldn't let my child spend another minute in her car.  If you pull out of carpooling, I hope you tell her why.  There needs to be a cultural shift in attitudes about texting while driving-- more shame, like there is now for DUI.[/quote]
