Texting While Driving

10/31/2015

14 Comments

 

Taxi Drivers Love Their iPhones

As a taxi cab driver I would be lying if I said I've never texted any of our customers back while driving. On the other hand they're text messages we created especially for customers. "Call you back shortly, I have a customer in the cab at the moment" that we send with one click.

Even so, it's still dangerous to take your eyes off the road for a split-second while driving. If we are careless it has the potential to harm those that rely on us to be safe.

OK, so you've been successful in getting your provisional driving licence from the DVLA and you're ready to find a driving school and get motoring. What next? Do you take regular lessons with a successful driving school or do you go for an intensive driving course provided by a Driving Standards Agency (DSA) Approved Driving Instructor (ADI).
