I'm nowhere near perfect, but with 2 teenagers driving I try my best to leave the phone alone to set the right example.
Texting/reading social media has to be the biggest cause of accidents and near misses these days. It unbelievable how many heads in crotches you see in day to day driving. Surely technology will come along to put an end to it.
