  • I seldom use my cell phone while driving. While using it, I sometimes stop talking to the person on the other end in order to focus on the road. And yes, I have only once been in a near wreck because of a cell phone. Several states that I know of are attempt to pass laws banning the use of cell phones while driving, so I have heard.
  • Yes i do but its a hands free speaker phone, no troubles. I rarely get calls while driving anyway and i certainly don't like talking to anyone that calls.
  • I guess that I am kind of strange in that I don't own a cell phone. That being the case, I never talk on one while I am driving.
  • Yes, but only on rare occassions. I am one of the 2% of the population that actually pulls over for most of my calls. I also have a bluetooth headset. The longest calls I've had to make were to 911 while chasing drunks. Other than that, it's rare.
  • If I do, I try to use my headset. By the way....I watched a show once about this. They did a test to see if it was more dangerous to drive while talking on a mobile phone or more dangerous driving while drunk....after running a series of tests, they found that it was more dangerous to be talking on the cell phone. :)
  • I don't but I will get a handsfree setup when i get the chance.
  • Anyone who says yes shouldn't be allowed to drive. Using a phone while driving is as dangerous as being drunk. It makes no difference if you use a handsfree set. Don't do it.
  • Yes, however at all times when driving I have my handsfree on. The callers voice will come out of my car speakers instead of the phone and I will talk through the phone placed just beside the steering wheel.
  • I do but I keep it short and I pay close attention to the traffic around me.
  • Only with a bluetooth headset or a car kit. I'll never talk on the phone itself. It's actually illegal here in Australia, and the fines are pretty hefty... Besides, we've got the technology to get around it, and buying a headset is cheaper than paying the fine. Some newer mobile phones (cellphones) come with bluetooth headsets anyway, so there's really no reason. If you don't have bluetooth, they still have good old wired headsets...
  • yes I do.
  • I don't own one personally, but have a company portable phone thing. And, yes, I answer when they call as I can walk and chew gum at the same time. If traffic is a touch inconvenient at the time, I will advise that I will phone back at next stop.
  • Nah, I wait till I get out of the phone to answer it or make any calls. Unless I'm meeting up with someone and I need directions.
  • No, I can't drive, watch DVD's AND use my phone, I might knock my beer over yo!...
  • no way, not worth the risk these day.3 points, £ 60.00 minumum no so not worth it
  • Yes, with a blue tooth headset.
