They are more safe since people can feel the buttons without taking their eyes off of the road. I don't understand why they thought it was a good idea to use touchscreens.

That's true.

With a T9 phone, I used to be able to send a complete text message without ever taking my eyes off the road.

Now that I've got a touchscreen I'm swerving all over the place every time I try to text. It's way less safe.

Stop fucking texting and driving.

[–] Etienne_Dahu@jlai.lu 18 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yes, please just text and drive, fucking is too distracting.

I prefer reading an erotic book. And well...you know where the other hand goes that isn't holding the book.
