  I think my sister had this toy. When you pull it and the wheels turn they move the eyes up and down.

  It also plays a large supporting role in Toy Story 3.

  I use my Bluetooth all the time while driving. But I leave it in the car, when I am not driving, no walking around the store flaunting my new hands free magic talking thing for me.

  Coming home from vacation, this woman nearly caused about a 20 car pile up and she was merging with traffic. I would've sworn she was texting, I looked over as we passed, and she was eating on what looked to be a Triple Whopper. If they're going to make laws against texting and driving, they should also do away with eating while driving.

  Exactly. I try not to let anyone know I have one.

  This. Holding the phone to your ear is both annoying and distracting, plus I can dial people via voice commands. I don't care if some random guy on I-71 thinks I'm a blue douche. I prefer to be comfortable and safe on car rides.
  
  And no I don't text and drive. I used to when I was young, dumb and had one of those t9 phones. Its also banned in my hometown but a secondary offense I believe.

  No. If I'm stuck in traffic, occasionally I'll scan an e-mail or two. But nothing while I'm driving. It's illegal here in WI.

  I voted yes, but I am really making conscience efforts to ONLY text when I'm at redlights now... and even that I am trying to cut out of my "bad" habits.

  Giving up this opportunity not to be in contact with the rest of the world is about the last thing I would want to change about my commute.

  Eating while driving is disgusting...and can be dangerous.

  Some cities have distracted driving laws which basically apolies to anything causing you to drive like an idiot

  I do it all the time. Not a big deal. Mostly I use Dragon to text when driving.

  good thing i have the OC, or i would have never realized the only two options for communicating via text message in your car were wearing a goofy ass headset and a fiery death.

  
  Ahh, I see you don't understand hyperbole.

  I'll eat something like nuggets or fries while driving. Basically just finger food. Never have to take your eyes off the road.
