If you'd really like to address this issue, the solution would be to do some research, find some sources, and create a section of the article about "texting while driving in the context of distracted driving" or "critics' view of texting while driving laws" or that type of thing. That is all we need for notability and all that is needed to justify this article. This specific topic is the subject of a very large number of specific laws in a very large number of jurisdictions. Whether or not you personally believe it deserves to be singled out as a particularly dangerous activity, many people and groups across the world have identified it as such. Martinevans123 ( talk) 22:00, (UTC) Reply Anon: Regardless of whether the focus on texting while driving is 'fair' or not, texting while driving (vs distracted driving in general) is the subject of a large number of laws in various states and countries, is a focus of groups and organizations that work for road safety, is the focus of a number of research studies, and is a focus of law enforcement and insurance companies. Although, admittedly, none that I know of that have used having sex as a comparison. In any case there are plenty of comparative distractor studies if you care to look. Texting, because it involves reading and writing, is just much more distracting than simply conversing. But the danger of mixing the two is not obvious. They offer novel opportunities for mixing communication with moving around. But mobile phones are new, and are designed to be mobile. People have been driving for generations, and have been having sex for perhaps a little longer. They are not really compatible behaviours. It's pretty obvious that (for most people) these two activities are best enjoyed in separate situations. Unfortunately, it's a rather poor analogy. A look at his personal site shows he may have created this site as a way to advertise his web design services to businesses who would profit from paying someone to make such a wiki.įeedback appreciated - Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.27.236.117 ( talk) 21:32, (UTC) Reply Dear anon. Are cell phones any MORE or LESS distracting than say, eating, yelling at a child, or adjusting the radio? Until such research is cited, factoring ALL typical distracting behaviors while driving, the NPV status of this article is in dispute.Īn analogy: Having an article for "Texting while driving" makes as much logical sense as having an article specially for "Sex while driving."Ī possible cause is the wiki itself was created by: User:Sebwite. Specifically, making a wiki about TEXT messaging specifically of all the possible distracting activities begs the question and reflects the mainstream media's bias against new technology. I am anonymously disputing the NPV (Neutral Point of View) of this article.
