77% of Americans Use Cell Phones to Text-Message While Driving
Pervasive cell phone use is on the rise, and it's not just a concern with bad manners. We've reported on people walking in front of trains and crashing cars while focusing more on their phones than what they're doing. And don't forget that this summer's awful train crash in Los Angeles was blamed on a texting. Now, new survey by software company Neverfail, Inc is showing just how pervasive these dangerous habits are becoming, and the findings are disconcerting, to say the least.The data shows that 77-percent of people have used their mobile e-mail device, like a BlackBerry, while driving a car. Ridiculously, 41-percent have done the same while either skiing, riding a horse, or riding a bicycle, and 11-percent have used one during a "romantic moment!" All the stats, available at the Read link below, are amazing sign of just how addicted to these things some people are. [From: Reuters]

I don't believe this for a second. I know that most kids at my college are dumb, but I have a hard time believing that adults are stupid enough to text while driving. If that's true, then they should have their licenses and cars taken away permanently. I don't want to die because some idiot driver decided they had to let someone know that "lol i 4got to tell u that i hav aids wtf" while driving. I support this ban 100%, and am going to write my senator to see what can be done to get it written into a bill.

People ... how much of our freedoms are you willing to let the governments take away? Before you know it we are going to be ruled like a communist country. Quit being scared of every little thing and allowing the government to take over our lives completely. If you want the government to interfere in every little thing .. how long before they tell people whether or not they CAN have kids. How long before they tell you how many calories you can consume in a day? How long before they tell you how often you can have sex? Sounds ridiculous???? Just look at what has happened so far. Anything and everything can kill you .. from the foods you eat, to the chemicals you clean your house with etc. Quit being a bunch of pansies and deal with life and DEATH.
