[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not voice. Yes, could be at a stoplight. Is that ok? That's a serious question. I have a zero tolerance policy with texting in the car, partly because I have teens who drive and this is what I insist on with them. Too rigid ? Are you comfortable with texting at red lights with kids in the car?[/quote]

I'll send short texts at the red light "on our way, lots of traffic" to give a heads up. Car isn't moving, I don't see the danger.[/quote]

Me too. Is that bad?  Serious question.  Never while the car is moving and always voice text. I don't read while the car is moving. [/quote]

I do this too and I can't see why it's dangerous at all. I completely put the phone down before driving and I keep an eye on the lights so I know before it will change. [/quote]

You are both delusional. Do you know who causes most accidents?  People texting at red lights. You see some cars moving, you think it is your lane, but it's not, it might be a turning lane, or car next to you moved a bit and you start going, and crash. Also you cause enormous traffic delays, as you miss green lights and cause traffic jams. Why should I wait while green light is on and you ignore it for three turns? Dangerous and selfish at the same time.[/quote]
