Just because you haven't been involved in an accident yourself doesn't make you a safe driver... it just makes you lucky. Who knows how many accidents you've caused by your lack of attention to the road. I hope for my sake that you live far far away from me.
i've been in cars with friends driving who swerve across lanes just changing the radio station or the a/c or whatever. and i can honestly say i've never done that texting. texting while driving is just as unsafe as doing anything in your car that takes your eyes and focus off the road.. get rid of the climate system, the radio, and other people in your car, and then, maybe, you'll have fewer people getting distracted.
until cars come with heads-up displays as standard and have all the controls voice-activated or on the steering wheel, things won't really change much..

Who said I haven't been involved in an accident? I certainly didn't.
Who knows how many? I do. ZERO.
I am a save driver. I text while driving. Those 2 statement are not mutually exclusive.
