Text Messaging will kill - GoFuckYourself.com

It is going to kill more people then talking on your cellphone when driving, I guarantee it.

People are text messaging more and more each day, and almost everyone has to look at the phone and search for the right letters, combine that with driving and it's bad news.

Here is one death i just read about

That will kill along with television on cell phones.

Not safe to talk on the phone as it is, now you can watch tv on cell phones. Have fun knowing that some moron is out there on the highway catching up on some Friends rerun.

I'm not sure it'll do more damage than cellphones. One has to be much more of an idiot to text while driving than to phone while driving.

text messaging/sms is exploding, it was huge in europe and americans were like "wtf, thats soo gay, why not just call someone" now everyone in america is doing it, and doing it when driving.

Adult text messaging is starting to roll out here in the USA. Your starting to see more advertising on tv for adult text chat, joke of the day, etc. Its gonna be big.

I know texting is big here in Europe, but over here people generally do it during meetings, class, on the trains - that sort of stuff. Maybe it takes Americans to want to combine something like that with driving

text message is big right now, stupid fuckers trying to do that and drive wtf? Most can't even drive when there not even on their phone

Furious_Female · 11-26-2005, 11:42 PM

Yeah, people can't drive as it is... much less while holding an unneeded object

NTSS · 11-27-2005, 12:56 AM

I texted a 60 character message while driving just yesterday. It was an urgent message ...but while I was doing it I remember thinking to myself "wtf am I doing"
it's a very dangerous thing to do...if someone ahead of you hits their brakes hard it could be disastrous. I won't be doing that crap anymore tho.

Yep its huge here.
Last year more than 5 billion text messages where sent in Denmark with a total population of 5.4 million.
Its illegal to use the cell phone here while driving unless you have a hands free set, so you can talk while having both hands on the wheel.

When I get cutoff in traffic - 9 times outta 10 its by some douchebag with a cell glued to his head.

They need to ban them behind the wheel.

It amazes me how many people on their phones pulling out from a parking lot (turning right) will look to their right but not their left as they are pulling out... it's like they want to know what they could have hit, not what's going to hit them when they pull out in front of it.

I agree with you on banning them behind the wheel. I used to think that states banning them were overstepping, but I have had too many close calls from idiots too wrapped up in their phone conversations.

As far as "urgent messages", NTSS, 60 characters is like what, 2 sentences? Pull the fuck over for 30 seconds and stop scaring the shit out of the rest of us.
