Just went down to get my newspaper and as I was getting ready to cross back across the road, saw this car coming up the Fletcher Road. A middle aged gentleman with a beard had both hands on top of the steering wheel and was texting, I assume, as he had a little iphone type thing. Apparently he was looking at the screen and the road, but I certainly wouldn't have wanted to have been an object in the road he would have had to stop for or dodge. I had difficulty believing that people could text and drive, but after seeing that, they certainly do. This guy was not going fast, probably 35 mph, but never the less, still not a good idea.
Maryann knows if she calls me on my cell phone, if I am driving, I will not answer her, I will call her back when I can stop. It tells me who tried to call, so it is not a problem for me. It may be my age, but I do not multi-task well.
By the way, I tried using spell check and my spell check here on the forum has no idea what texting is or iphone.
