So what your saying is if those idiots were not talking on cell phones they would never be in accidents ???What does this idiot look like ? I need to stay as far away as possible from them .
Driving is tough enough anymore . You need to be watching and paying attention to driving not pushing in a phone number .
So I assume you have a hands free system where your hands never leave the wheel .That is smart on your part .
Also kids follow by example so if it is ok for just you to use the phone than it is ok for them too .Hell , people are even texting going down the road now .
Sorry man , That ain't gonna fly with me .
Double standards don't impresss me .
I did hear that Chevy is coming out with a new car with big mirrors so women can put on make up while driving and it has a small dining table with a kitchenette where the driver can eat and prepare food to save time while he is driving to the accident .
I never said that. I said, essentially, that idiots cannot be removed from the highway by any law. Particulaly it cannot be done without infringing on the rights of responsible drivers.
I object to laws that limit what I can do responsibly just because someone is offended that another driver is on the cell phone.
It is the other driver's innability to properly focus their attention. If distractions are to be blamed and outlawed then no car or light truck should include the following..
Radios,
Navigation systems
Blue tooth
CD players
DVD players
Children
Pets
Ashtrays
Lighters
Cup Holders
Glove compartments
Map lights
Manually operated AC and heaters.
Not even in police cars.
We should also include, Reading Text books on the way to school, Makeup and Food.
When you tell me you are willing to give up, all of those items, because, based on the logic of distraction, cellphones are to be banned, I'll listen to your logic
And then still disagree.
Danger is Mother Nature's way of getting stupitidy out of the gene pool. There are no laws that prevent stupidity. But we seem to have many that promote it.
It takes a minimum of two idiots to collide two cars. At least one to fuck up and another not to notice. I never expect the other driver to be sane, sober, or polite, much less intelligent enough not to run into my car.....just because laws exist that says he ought not to do that.
I don't know about anybody else, but when I drive, I take seriously my responsibility, not to park a tree, a sign post, a bridge abuttment, or another vehicle on my dashboard.
My cell phone use has never interferred with that mission.
