So, does that mean you don't have conversations with passengers in your car, or sing along with the radio? Those are equally as distracting..

Even talking while using a Bluetooth creates a distraction for drivers. You know darn well that your brain can be "seeing" something completely different if you're engaged in a phone conversation instead of giving your full concentration to the road. Sure, it's marginally better than having to drive with your pinkies while using your thumbs to text and looking down at the phone screen (or over it to see the road peripherally)... but the difference really is only marginal according to what I've read. Your brain is still the most important body part to use while you're driving, and you should be focusing as much of it as possible on your driving and not on phone conversations. So don't call me while I'm driving because I won't answer you! :-P~~~ Cee ----- Original Message ----- From: Randy <mailto:gatorspo...@comcast.net> Lyons To: gatortalk@googlegroups.com Sent: Wednesday, June 09, 2010 11:01 AM Subject: RE: [gatortalk] Miami beat Texas A&M to face UF That's why I silence my Blackberry while driving. My Bluetooth, however, still tells me when a call is coming in, and just simply reaching up and pressing a button on it will answer the call. A Bluetooth is also handy for making a call to a number in your address book. Just push the button, and at the prompt, say "Call Leon Polhill mobile" and it dials the number for me. Hand is never away from the wheel for more than a couple of seconds, and eyes are NEVER off of the road.

Fatalities are increasing exponentially as a result of texting while driving. It's very tempting to do when the mobile is buzzing on the highway. The result is immediate disaster.

It's just my latest "soapbox". I actually DO have a sense of humor, but observing drivers weaving while looking down or oblivious to the traffic around them because they are engrossed in a cell phone conversation is becoming alarming.

Use a Bluetooth and if your cell phone doesn't support "voice commands", upgrade to one that does. My cell phone stays in it's holster while I'm driving. I check email/text messages when I stop.

I enjoyed doing it. This is a very special baseball team that we have this year and I want all Gators to know it. I know Bob Williams up near Bangor, ME couldn't get the broadcasts on radio or TV, so I kept Bob in mind as I thumb-typed away on the Blackberry. Paula and I would be going to Omaha for the CWS, hopefully following the Gator team, but a family wedding in North Hollywood, CA is launching us this Monday on a 5-week motorhome tour of the SW. We will be watching the CWS on TV on the road. A. Leon Polhill, Gator "I was gratified to be able to answer promptly, and I did.
