Yes, I agree — all cell phone use and other kinds of distracted driving are dangerous and should be avoided. (And maybe instruct your children that it is not ok to turn off their phones? (And I assume you’ve already let them know that it’s not okay to go where there are no parents at home?? Not to go off on an OT parenting tangent, but your kids are either going to obey your family rules, or they’re not. This particular example you’re giving, to me, is not a situation that can be mitigated by the urgent, immediate use of your cell phone. Sounds like a more preventive parenting strategy is warranted.)

Youshouldn’t check your mirrors while driving? Seriously?

in everybody else’s defense, it will be small consolation that you were not texting but were instead “madly grabbing your phone” when you run into or over somebody. or somebody’s child or pet. To Karass and everyone else in the same circumstances, as I know there are many: with all due respect, please find a way to get a grip.

Indeed. And now, George Lucas will be expecting his royalties for your use of the term “Droid”. (I’m joking about you guys, but if you look at the disclaimer in the Droid ads, you’ll see that Lucasfilm has that word locked up! I’m guessing every time the ad plays, it’s just another “cha-ching!” in his pocket…)
