The entire video is FAIL. your forgetting that you dont have to read the whole text message at once. you could look down for 1 second then look back at the road again and keep on doing that, whereas a street sign on the motorway means once youve gone past it you cant reverse back down the motorway. Street sign- Queen Street 11 characters Text message - Cming Hme 8 characters Faster to read the text than the street sign. |

Also, if you cannot see any part of the road while reading the sign in the video, I suggest you either get glasses, or learn to read before you're underneath it. edit: and Hilarious? Once you're done with that, go stare at a bus stop. |

Constant distraction even for a second impairs judgment and concentration. Try watching the TV and studying at the same time. Road signs are also a vital part of the road. Only idiots would compare road signs to texting. |

| 825127 | 2009-10-29 06:59:00 | Sunday is fast approaching and with it comes the end to txting and driving so its only right someone made a hilarious video that shows how silly the txting and driving ban really is } www.youtube.com Dude, you made me lose 21 seconds of my life. It's neither hilarious nor funny. But I have something to make up for that: www.youtube.com Watch that. It's funny. What's your problem anyway dude? IMO, it's a great thing, too many people live like idiots txting away. IMO, it's come in too late. Most modern countries had laws against using the phone while driving since the last millenia. Makes perfect sense to me. |

For me it's the same. so whether i'm reading full words or text it's the same to me. |

| 825130 | 2009-10-29 07:56:00 | I'm 19. Friends text me with text language all the time. Some friends' texts are harder to read than others, but generally I find proper, sensible English much easier to read. | qazwsxokmijn (102) | ||
