    I want to start a project: Text or Tip. If your taxi driver texts while driving, no tip. Doesn't text, big tip! Give a card explaining.

        @avantgame It bothers me that you made a v. comfortable living from a book about positivity and world change & would penalize the poorest.

        @twoscooters you obviously don't know anyone who was killed in an accident due to texting while driving.

        @avantgame Have you ever tried saying, "Please don't text"? I find polite requests work wonders.

        @avantgame Maybe @square could add this: "No tip because ..." as an option. Tip 20%, 10%, or 0% because of Texting during service.

        @avantgame I think that's a great idea! Not only safer, but they are on the job they shouldn't be txting or on phone during trips at all.

        @avantgame have you seen this study on the perils of tipping overall http://www.freakonomics.com/2013/06/03/should-tipping-be-banned-a-new-freakonomics-radio-podcast/ … ? Tipping opens up a bit of a moral minefield.

        @avantgame I mean, I could play a game where I steal someone's wallet if they talk in the library, but usually I just ask them to be quiet.

        @avantgame Seems problematic, given how little money drivers & other service industry folks make; most of their take-home comes from tips.

        @avantgame I think handing them information about the dangers of texting and driving is more valuable then any amount of money.

        @avantgame Eh, I'd propose lobbying PUCs to facilitate some kind of rating/review acctblty system, akin to @uber. Transperency: it works!

        @avantgame The worst is when taxi drivers check Twitter as they drive. Happened to me more than once. Terrifying.
