According to a 2,049-person poll, demographically weighted proportionally to the US, 89% of adults think that text messenging while driving is “distracting, dangerous and should be outlawed.” So how many of those polled text and drive anyway?

66%

So is this a situation of “we know it’s for our own good,” or, “those other people can’t text while driving, but my super multitasking powers make it safe for me”?

I’m guilty of the non-crime. And yes, it’s because I believe myself to have heightened (some may say spider-like) reflexes. Should it be banned? Probably. [prnews]
