- Your Vic Teows logic doesn't work either, I very rarely drive at all and I'm not on my phone when I do. I will admit, however, that when I do drive I sometimes hit the "next track" button on my iPod while driving, which is technically distracted driving (despite not requiring me to take my eyes of the road at all).
