No I say boo-hoo because people are dieing at an alarming rate because of texting,fooling around with games/apps etc. Doing these things while driving is no better than drinking an driving and studies show it is even worst!

Rigging a car with a red light to alert drivers when to brake, the magazine tested how long it takes to hit the brake when sober, when legally drunk at .08, when reading and e-mail, and when sending a text. The results are scary. Driving 70 miles per hour on a deserted air strip Car and Driver editor Eddie Alterman was slower and slower reacting and braking when e-mailing and texting
The results- Unimpaired: .54 seconds to brake
- Legally drunk: add 4 feet
- Reading e-mail: add 36 feet
- Sending a text: add 70 feet

And if you bothered reading my post I said the phone itself would still work just texting and apps shut down after 10km h...you must be the fastest jogger in history if this bothers you.
