I remember when driving was an activity all by itself and required all your faculties to do it safely. Now I see people all the time who are behind the wheel of a car going 60 MPH who are talking on a cell phone with their left hand , looking in the rear view mirror with both eyes to make sure the lipstick they are putting on with their right hand is going on staright. That's what they are doing. they are talking on a phone and looking in a mirror and applying makeup , not driving. Actually driving the car is a 4th tier activity like sipping a coffee used to be when driving. Now you tell me how someone who is using both hands and both eyes and whole brain for something other than driving can lay any claim that they are driving safely and have their car under control!!

When you are driving , that's what you should be doing.

I so glad you all have "GOOD HEARING" but for the "DEAF" texting is their life blood.This is just another slap in the face for them.

BOAT fish do count.

Because someone is deaf and needs to text...they should be able to do it while driving??? And possibly kill or cripple someone???

Almost time to get our fish on!!!

no more then the guy who works 8 hrs then drives an hour to fish the ditch till the sun comes up then drives another hour to get home...no he's not going to kill anyone because he fell asleep behind the wheel.

You are out of your mind!

A deaf person still has to take his EYES off the road and at least one HAND off the wheel to send a text message,that equals someone like me being killed.If a deaf person NEEDS to send a text message pull over and send it like the rest of us RESPONSIBLE people!

Your above quote is by far one of the stupedist things I've ever read!
