I've been driving all night my hands wet on the wheel

Unless you've been living in a cave, not that there's anything wrong with that, you probably have heard that driving while texing or talking on your cellphone can be a high wire act. Imagine having a computer, two-way radio, cellphone, GPS device and a couple of other gadgets at your fingertips. Wouldn't you be tempted to use them while driving? While there is no data that tracks technology related emergency vehicle crashes, police, fire and rescue are now grappling with the same temptations you are.

We talked to a Texas State Trooper who told us Troopers go through three weeks of intense training that allows them to integrate the car and technology. They're supposed to use the cool gadgets only when it's safe, not during a 100 mile-an-hour chase. Ambulance drivers have it a bit easier, they have a co-pilot to navigate and take care of all the radio stuff. They want the driver concentrating on the road, in fact, it's against policy to use a cell phone while driving regarless if they're on a call or not.

Remember, emergency personnel are human and are feel the same temptations we all do. I hope they are more successfu than myself. I admit I chatted on the phone on may way to work this afternoon.
