Explains an awful farking lot.

I hate myself for being able to read that headline.

People can read and write in SC?

Whenever I'm behind an SUV driving somewhat erratically, it's nearly always some biatch on or looking at a cell phone. :(


Whatever you have to say, it can wait ten minutes. Jesus.

Using a cell phone while driving should result in an automatic suspension of your driving license. No exceptions.

Forget drugs and alcohol. Cell phones are the dangerous addiction in this country!

BitwiseShift: People can read and write in SC?

Yeah but like that. They were doing that before texting was even thought of.

Umm... could someone please translate that... i don't understand the "Sc#1" part.

/Subtard gets a -1, it SHOULD be: "OMG DID u no? (no idea so can't simplify) st8 txtn wyl drvn"

Never type like that again, please.

This has already been illegal in the Nanny State for quite some time now. Oh yeah, and you can't talk on the phone either (unless it's hands-free), because they have this ridiculous legal requirement of having to have your hands free to drive. Shows what a bastion of liberty the USA is, unlike the oppressive Big Brother in England.

Wait, what?

We're number one! We're number one!

BitwiseShift: People can read and write in SC?

Exactly what I was thinking...

Fail.

I'm a teenager who can text while driving without looking, so I'm getting a kick out of these replies.

/there's a bump on the 5, much like the bumps on the f and j keys on a keyboard, so you can navigate from there
//it takes longer, but at least I don't have to drive like a moron
///and yes, I realize I have to look to read what I receive, I still drive better than most people not distracted here in NC

Are you kidding me? How many states do you know with SC as an Abbr? And Charleston.net? You don't even have to read the article to figure that one out.

I made fun of someone in an online game for using txtspch and got kicked because the jackasses running the server felt I was making fun of foreigners.

The foreigners I know would never use txtspch. There's a yawning chasm of stupidity between simply misspelling words and using txtspch.

It seems to me that texting is a whole next level of inattention to driving relative to talking on the phone.

I am sure that you never read the incoming texts or respond to those while driving either, because you can't do that while not looking.

What, no hate for the company trying to sell special software that can translate voice into text to send over your phone to someone else's phone? Just f*cking CALL THEM, that's what phones are for!

I like the page layout. 10k worth of text. 20 megs worth of other bullshiat.

So you'll understand DIAF.

Have you ever driven here? You need both hands, the streets are about 1 1/2 lanes wide-for two lane roads.

That being said, I'm against the £90 tickets you get if caught.
Execution by the roadside is much more efficient and solves the problem permanently.

Sarcasm. Let him show you it.

There are already laws that cover driving dangerously, so why do we need another one? Maybe subby just wants an acceptable reason to hate the socioeconomic population most likely to be found texting while driving.

//cold dead hands

As the uncle of a teenager who would probably have echoed your sentiment please be realistic about this. You do have to look down every once in a while and just the texting takes you mind off of the road whether your looking at the phone or not. My neice Kim's concentration was on texting and she went wide on a curve, overcorrected and hit a field approach ending up at the bottom of a ravine. They figure that her neck snapped on impact so she didn't suffer much. Driving is your job when you are behind the wheel. Concentrate on that job and leave other things for later. I've never had a phone conversation that would compensate for even a minor fender bender.

Why does that page autorefresh every 2 secons? What is on there that is so important that I know exactly what the status is at all times?

LoneVVolf: What, no hate for the company trying to sell special software that can translate voice into text to send over your phone to someone else's phone? Just f*cking CALL THEM, that's what phones are for!

I got plenty of that hate. It's just a different topic. This is FARK. We can hate more than one thing at a time.

you won't be bragging when you flip your car because you just had to take that text. Frankly, I hope it happens if only so you don't take out some innocent bystander due to your stupidity.


put the farking cellphones down.

I'm frum SC an I kan bof reed and rite. I kan driv, two. I dont lik 2 txt mssg whil drivin becuz I spill my beer sumtimes doin it.

and thus you fully justify your login with flying colors

The company, Vlingo, sells software that it says can translate voice to text on a cell phone, eliminating the need to tap out a message. It hired a firm that tallied 4,820 responses to a "self-administered" online survey.

UUUUHHHH Just call & have a conversation. Yeah, I know, it's a lost art. Revive it!

Great. I'm stuck in this hell hole for the weekend and now I find I'm more likely to get killed by some soccer mom driving her H3 while texting. farkin' great.

I'm not surprised that the #1 state is an Eastern one. A year ago, when I first started reading FARK, I read about fatalities from texting and driving, and wrote a blog entry about it. The California college-aged kids that replied basically asked "Are they nuts? Of course it's stupid to text and drive".

What we need is voice activated text messaging. The phone takes what people say, turns it into tard speak, and translates it back to speech on the other phone. This would make texting just about as a normal call while driving.

The phone company can implement this by just treating it like a normal call, running it through a filter to make it sound like a robot, and charging 3x as much for the call.

And people around here drive bad enough to begin with. I think turn signals are optional equipment on cars sold in this state..And no one understands what lane to stay in when making a turn...And you can drive at 15 here...etc...etc...
/Stay off my lawn and my highway..
//NebularView .I Love me some Ben's Barbecue from up your way...

Tell your BFF Jill that if she keeps texting you, I'm going to break her GD MF neck.

That, too.

last week a station in virginia said that VA was #1 this year...

Don't cars have their own phone numbers now? So you can have an actual phone call?

I'm surprised there's enough people in SC to lead in anything numbers related.

Suflig: Don't cars have their own phone numbers now? So you can have an actual phone call?

Yes some of the high end cars do. But they are expensive phone calls. My father's Acura has one, but he never uses it.

Case in point: Another teenage driver that thinks they "got it under control". What was that? 16-21 drivers have highest accident & death rate...?

//Another reason why I don't ride a street bike any longer

I'd still feel safer around SC drivers texting than driving in the herd of raving idiots that are here driving around Atlantic City today.

/all your morans are belong to us
//yes, they are dumb enough to spend $$$ to go to NJ.
///and most of them drive here

So one guy says he is ashamed for BEING ABLE TO read the headline, and i should feel ashamed for NOT BEING ABLE TO read the headline. Wow... lose lose situation.
