[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I say it depends on how you define "drive".

If you're moving, then I take issue with that. That's a problem. That's compromising safety.

If you're sitting in traffic, crawling and stopping over and over... that's not driving. That's moving a few feet every minute.

My commute is 3 miles.  But traffic is horrendous. It can sometimes take 45'minutes to go THREE miles. I only drive it during bad weather or when I'm going someplace right after work, the est of the time I bike if I'm in a hurry, or I walk.

But I refuse to accept that me texting or doing anything else on my phone is a danger to anyone when I'm sitting in traffic having not moved for four minutes.

These stupid zero tolerance policies are just as dumb as the ones they have for kids in school, where a 14 year old girl gets suspended for "drug possession" because she has Midol.

It's stupid. [/quote]

I was rear-ended in my car while pregnant by a woman in stop and go traffic you described.   Put your effing phone down.[/quote]

NP here, and I second the call to put phones down when you're driving. Hope you and your baby were unharmed by that collision.[/quote]
