I see this almost daily. Even though hands free is now mandated here it means nothing.

In Chicago, they are trying to legislate against texting and walking, nothing yet about texting and driving although talking on the phone without hands-free devices has been outlawed. As with a lot of Chicago laws, violators abound, especially those in City of Chicago vehicles and police cars.

I fail to understand the obsession with "texting" these days. This has got to be the singularly most innefficient means of communication since smoke signals. And to be doing it while driving?!?

Our youngest daughter (13) is obsessed with it because her friends all have cell phones and wants one herself - primarily for texting - in the worst way. I'm tired of hearing about it.

What the hell is the appeal? $70 a month to type abbreviated messages on a crappy little keypad and view them on an itty-bitty little screen? WTF?
