[quote=Anonymous][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. [b]I completely put the phone down before driving and I keep an eye on the lights so I know before it will change. [/quote][/b]

Oh, come on, this is BS!  [b]I highly doubt that you always "completely put the phone down." [/b] NO TEXT IS THAT URGENT.

I am on the busy roads 495 and 66 every day, and there is so much texting/phone use.  Just put your phones in the backseat, or get your child to text if it's that urgent.  I doubt it's that urgent.[/quote]

Why would I lie? I don't do it often, but when I do it's coordinating drop offs/picks ups (time sensitive) and I truly am stopped at a light and see how many seconds I have until the light changes.

I agree that I see tons of people texting *while* driving and that is scary stuff. [/quote]
