Never! Will get a quick glance at emails while stopped at a red light. But never while moving... But then it has been more than 25 years since I've had a ticket or an accident!

Only at lights, when I am not the first at the light, or when there is no one on the road, and when I do it's not on my lap but next to the steering wheel.
I try not to though...

Biggest problem over here in the UK with texting and driving, is that if the 5-0 catch you, you receive 3 points on your licence and a hefty fine to boot too, so it's just not worth it. Not to mention the danger invoved.

Never, Never, Never.
Pretty damn sure the person who caused my major accident was on the phone. Now illegal in this province to talk wihtout hands-free or text at all, even at lights. Put it in the trunk. Humans don't multi-task very well.
Sorry about the rant.

And this is a clear reason as to WHY you shouldn't text and drive!
