Texting while driving.
When you drive, don't indulge in texting message or reading mails, or it is more likely that you can meet an accident, a survey says. It can be as dangerous as drunken driving.

Mobile users can not help using mobiles while they are driving. Texting on your mobile is certainly dangerous, as one can imagine. Do we understand that? Can the penalties and fines bring desired results?

Yes! You shouldnt text when you are driving, because it will lose your concentration completely! You cant see where you are going if you are staring at a screen!

I really think it is pretty shameable that we need a survey to tell us what should be common sense. People need to put two and two together; if you can't see the road you're likely to crash, doesn't that make sense?

It totally amazes me how people have careless disregard for other people. When you are driving you should be concentrating on that driving. Not talking on a phone and definately not texting someone, you have no control, you are not paying attention and you may not be in a car crash but can surely cause others to be.

While driving a driver should not do anything else but only concentrate on his driving because this is the only cause of fatal accidents happened everywhere.

Sending messages on your mobile phone or laptop is not considered safe, even if you are driving on a empty road. Always concentrate on the road while driving.

Yeah this is what you call dangerous.I mean i thought eating a sandwitch or drinking some pop while driving was dangerous.It is slighly dangerous but texting this is insane how can you possible focus on the road and whats ahead.

I always hated writing messages on my mobile. While on car, it is certainly out of question.

There is also an issue of sending emails via your mobile, a tiny instrument desinged for voice service not certainly for browsing or emailing.

Yeah i would never be so stupid to text while im dirving, i mean it doesn't hurt to pull over while your you texting instead of causing a crash and possibly taking your own and others lifes or seriously injure somebody.I mean if your on the motorway its better to pull into the hard shoulder than text this is a reduced risk still a tiny bit dangerous but safer.
