Texting or using ur phone?
I think we need an explanation why this poll is being made. What’s coming next? ‘do you ever eat without a Brocha?’?
These questions don’t encourage compliance. It just highlights how many people make the same mistakes and makes them feel more ok with their actions!
Are you going to report this to the Police, with all IP addresses?
And keep in mind that some of those who responded with a no aren’t being truthful for fear of being caught. This statistic is scary! Time for self driving cars ASAP!
You can text with voice. Is that any different than using blue tooth?
@yaakov, hock hock hock.
None of your business
I dont see anything funny about texting or speaking on the phone while driving , It is dangerous for the driver and others, ITs probable an Aveira too,
Next poll: Do you close your eyes while using a sharp knife?
90% of all traffic fatalities is due to distracted driving. That number has skyrocketed since 2015. The other 10% is due to driving while intoxicated. I know someone who is handicapped for life because a woman hit him head-on while on the phone. She is no longer with us, one child in the front is also gone and the kid in the back is in a wheelchair. Is it worth it?
My VPN blocks this poll anyway so my IP address is like in Romania. In any case I use my real name and email. I have nothing to hide. In my line of work, I live in a fishbowl anyway.
It’s a good thing this poll only requires a “yes” or “no” answer, because normally when I’m driving it takes me a long time to fill out the answers to the online polls because I’ve got to look up at the road every so often. But this one’s a cinch.
To the poster who said it’s “privaboy an aveirah” Reb Reuvain Feinstein has said publicly that one who texts while driving is considered a murderer. The fact that no one was killed has to do with the potential victims and doesn’t change the drivers’ status.
