Posting on Facebook while driving
I am a reasonably competent PC user and sometimes encounter difficulty posting on my Facebook or Twitter page. It takes my full attention to do it properly and to type without misspellings or getting the wrong picture into the post. (The last sentence had three typos which I had to correct.) I also use a dictation program and experience proves there are always multiple errors to correct at the end of the dictation. The proposal some auto makers are putting forth to allow drivers to post on the Internet (Facebook, Twitter, etc.) while driving borders on insanity, or foolishness multiplied.
It doesn't make any difference, typing or dictating. Defensive driving requires full attention. Can you imagine the outcome when a driver becomes more concerned with how his Internet post will look or be received than whether he is driving properly and safely? Accidents happen in an instant. Bad ideas abound.
