It's not just texting it's checking my email, talking on the phone. I'm addicted to my blackberry. I sleep with the damn thing. I know it's wrong..

Yeah that's right, I forgot, you're the type that takes calls at a restaurant while you're out on a date with a guy. lol
do you text while doin the hibbity dibbity?
Well I try not to text when I'm working because I leave when I am finished with my job. If I text all day, it takes me longer to get my job done.
I text when I am driving because that doesn't waste time. I can drive 80+ mph while texting, so it's not wasting any time. I just drive while steering with my left knee.
How many speeding tickets have you gotten Art? Do you have them stashed in your glove compartment? You strike me as a big rig driver type of guy.
Why don't you just turn it off during a date? lol
Oh my gosh. That's like telling a crackhead to put down the pipe. I don't think it has an off button. LOL. It is never off.
But seriously, no b/c if something should happen with kids I need to know whether I'm on a date or not.
You're old enough to have been around at a time when there weren't cell phones though and everybody was fine. lol
i'm never getting in a car with qop and art.
the thought of someone texting and driving while i'm in a car with them scares me. i'd rather have them smoking greens than be texting.
ha ha somebody is getting grouchy.
chill, i never passed any judgement on you. all i said was that it's scary to be in a car with a driver who's texting at the same time. didn't say i was perfect either, i can't even drive cos i'm too scared to sit behind the wheel.
i like you qop, so when i read what you posted, i got a little worried for you. i refuse to learn to drive cos i know there's mad people on the roads. what if one day you got into a serious car accident? you have kids, whether they're in the car with you or not, your safety should be your top priority when you're driving, not your blackberry. where would your kids end up if something ever happens to you? they love you and they need you.
I'm completely calm and not grouchy at all.........just simply asking a question........
i think this law applies to the entire east coast besides in new york and miami.... if it does happen usually they have blue or yellow plates....jersy and CT drivers can never drive for shit..... its annoying....but just go around them or tail them.....but be careful lol
lol, i've gotten lots of tickets, but i don't have any points on my license. most of the time, the cop will write me a ticket for "failure to obey traffic control device" which is a cheaper fine and doesn't give you any points. and if they write me one for speeding, i just go and fight it and the judge knocks it down to failure to obey traffic control devices.
i guess i've probably gotten 8-10 (that's less than 1 per year) speeeding tickets in my lifetime and only 1 of them counts because i got it in ohio and it was too far away to fight.
and no, i've never driven a rig.
i knew this one woman in the nut house who got picked up by the po-po and thrown into the nut house cos she was speeding down the wrong side of the road one night. she thought she was supposed to go pick up Princess Diana. this happened 8 years after Diana died. there are crazy people on the roads, if you're not paying full attention to the roads then you know what could happen.
Yeah, I didn't mean you drove a big rig per say, I just meant you remind me of those types of guys who do. lol
They must be some pretty leniant courts if they lessen the charge/fine when you're driving like Al Unser Jr. The judge must be Italian(mafia connections).
haha, no nothing like that. 90% of the time, if you fight a ticket, the judge will reduce the fine. i think it costs $7 to fight a ticket. that's not a very high price to pay, unless of course you have to miss work.
here's what you say to the magistrate to reduce your fine...
1) Your honor, i admit full guilt. i was speeding. i am just here to ask for a little mercy because...
2 a) if my car insurance goes up i won't be able to afford it, or
b)my job requires me to have a clean driving record. if my company finds out about this, i could lose my job.
damn art. its still 55 mph up in PA??? what part of the game is that???
dis treads gangsta mang
Also by the way Art, I'm sure you have heard a countless number of times about how once you start going over 60 mph, the car's gas mileage goes way down. Plus I would say that a lot of accidents with cars hitting deer and other animals is cause the person was driving too fast, not paying good attention to the road and surroundings, etc. So basically you're driving like a maniac to try to get somewhere a couple minutes faster, while putting a lot of other people on the road in danger, losing a lot of extra gas for nothing, and increasing the chances of hitting deer, pedistrians, bicycle riders, etc.

• i don't pay for my gas
• just starting the car wastes gas, maybe i should just walk everywhere. there would be even less of a chance of running into a deer that way.
• i don't drive like a maniac. sometimes i just drive faster than the posted speed limit
Yeah, driving 100 mph in a 55 mph zone isn't driving like a maniac. lol
So whenever you drive anywhere, it's always in a company vehicle, even around town? Or does your uncle Big Vito pay for your gas around the area?
Going over 60 uses gas at a much higher rate than driving at lower(normal) speeds.
Like I said, if more people would slow down and pay more attention to the roads, a lot less people would be running into deers and getting their cars totalled, seriously hurt, or killed. Though, if the amount of available horse heads get low, I guess they could start putting deer heads in people's beds instead.
i've had jobs where the company paid for gas in my personal car and jobs with a company car (yes, to use for personal use to.)
either way, gas is free, per se
I assume you don't have one of those things on the back of your company car that asks how your driving is and has a number to call. lol
lol, no. one time i did though, however nobody ever called. haha, now that i think about it, that's pretty amazing.
lol you probably drove by too fast for them to get the whole number.
Texting while driving impedes your driving ability 5 times more than driving drunk.
Ease up on drunk drivers and start targeting these gossiping faggits like Art who can't wait 10 minutes to tell their bros how rad the power point presentation they did at work was.
texting while drunk driving is the hardest thing ever
Why do people need to be told that driving is not the best time to be reading and typing?
Further, if you have a phone and you're in the fucking car, why don't you just try talking to people? And if they don't want to talk, why not just turn the fucking phone off?
Yeah, 99.9 percent of phone and text conversations while driving can wait. People don't know how to be patient I guess. Or low IQ.
Fuck! My gps just sent me some back country road instead of a highway. I'm stuck behind tractor trailers doing the speed limit. Everytime there is a straight away where I can pass, fucking car comes in the other direction and fucks it up.
You're trying to pass in a no passing zone? If a car does that to me, I like to beep at them while they are passing.
