[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Texting while driving is dangerous and dumb as it takes your eyes off the road. [b]Talking and listening while driving is not[/b] as it does not require your eyes to look away. There are a few nuts on this thread who are going a bit overboard.

In the meantime, this is a highly unenforceable law. Speeding is much easier to enforce and that is rarely enforced. Just about everyone speeds and very few are caught, except in low speed zones with cameras. Go take a ride on the beltway or 95 and you’ll see what I mean. Much ado about nothing. [/quote]

Yes, it is. The data show otherwise. Hands-free driving is not safe.

Also, Maryland has a no-texting-and-driving law, and it's enforced. (I wish it were enforced more.) A law that is actually enforced is a law that is enforceable.[/quote]

I agree that if you drive without using your hands it is not very safe. I also drive in Maryland and it is not very safe. Half the cars are doing 80 and the other half 50. Really bad drivers on the beltway there. Not sure if they’re texting or not, but they are unsafe. [/quote]
