So depending on the state and or jurisdiction, texting (including reading a text) is illegal but wait until they start pulling one over for reading their wristwatch:

To add to 2porscheguy's post, I think the province of Alberta is going in the right direction with their approach & common-sense campaign on 'distracted driving'

Gimme a break... stupid people who can't drive will always be stupid people who can't drive.

I read a post on here complaining about eating in the car. Really? LOL, damn, I need to be locked up for life, I guess!

I once had an oncoming school bus drift into the lane and when close, noticed she had something up to her ear. Most obvious was a phone but what a damn crazy biatch.

While were ranting, next time you see a Cadillac driver take notice how often they use a turn signal. NEVER!!!!! Haha.

It's out of control, I saw a nice 997 here with a woman driving that had a sticker in the back window saying "hang up and drive". I want one....

Half the people on the road in rush hour traffic are texting while crawling along Beverly Blvd. in L.A. at 4:30 PM. It's almost comical...you can just glance into the cars next to you as you crawl by, they're all texting or reading a text.

When things are moving, it's a different story.
