While I answered yes to the question, I did so only because I am very honest. I do not regularly do so, and almost the only time is when I am at a stoplight/sign. Even then it is only a couple words to acknowledge that I recieved the text, ie. "K", or "OMW" which my phone spells out as on my way.

As for talking on the phone, that is why I have a hands free system. I do not feel that it is any more dangerous than talking to someone in the passenger seat. Maybe even less so, since I don't feel the need to take my eyes off the road to see the person I am talking to.

To others on here that are getting so self righteous about it, make sure your homes are in order. Any of you eat while driving? Anyone drink (non-alcoholic) while driving, then look for the cup holder? Anyone have a GPS that they are reading/entering an address? Anyone get too close to the car in front of you to read a bumper sticker, or figure out a personalized plate? Anyone ever look at a map while driving? Anyone ever look too long at that pretty girl walking down the sidewalk?

There are tons of things to distract us while driving, and it is our responsibility to limit those whenever possible. I try to be as good and safe as possible, but I won't get so high and mighty as to say I have never done something stupid or dangerous while driving my car.

Sorry, off my soapbox.
