I have never know where to place AU on the age scale and you, I always thought to be in and around 40, so since I just had a birthday yesterday, I have a decade on you, Six6.

From your title, you have apparently not read my posts on the subject.

In my state, the law for drunk driving is OUI or Operating Under the Influence, and "Influence" is not restricted to alcohol in the definition - it includes drugs, fatigue, and distraction. Thus distraction already included texting and mobile phone use before either existed. They only need to be enforced, which they aren't.

Texting while driving could be another way of God weeding out the stupid, but the problem with that is there are other innocent victims on the roadways.

I have often thought that driving drunk should be prosecutable as Attempted Negligent Homicide - the act of getting behind the wheel and starting to operate the deadly weapon is the Attempt. I think that texting while driving is worse, and far more applicable.

I also think that all companies, each and every one, which requires their employees to talk on the phone while driving, provide technical assistance and troubleshooting on the phone while driving, answer phones while driving, and texting while driving should be outed if not prosecuted, and in the most public manner. It seems sick that there seems to be no law specifically against this, and obviously no prosecution of these heinous companies.

As a person who drives, I fail to see why my input would be of any less value than anyone else.


I do think the act of looking away from the road to read a text or surf the next is every bit as serious and dangerous as driving while intoxicated, maybe even more so. Why ? Because literally anyone can do it, at any time. Otherwise sober , alert, and capable drivers can get distracted in a flash and cause chaos and injury to themselves and others.

Think YOU can text and drive ?

YOU'RE WRONG! YOU CAN'T DO IT !!

So knock it the hell off.

I tend to believe that most of the people who are talking on the phone while they drive and not at work are spending most of their time on the phone talking about nothing really that critical or important. They're just passing the time on the boring ride home. I'm okay with this if they're using a hands-free system and they're not drinking. 99.9999999% of their faculties are available to them, and they're able to concentrate on what's important when they need to. How many times have you heard somebody say "hold on a minute" when they got into a situation that was too heavy for them to keep the conversation up?

Working while driving though? First there's just the natural stress that many of us feel to some degree at work Then add all of the actual thinking that you have to do if it's a complicated enough issue. Maybe it's above your pay grade and you have to get 3 other people on the call?

That is a lot of shit to deal with while you SHOULD be focusing on your driving and the other drivers.

We can't drive and conduct business meetings, or focus on the message that someone sent and what is being said in a meeting. It just doesn't work and we shouldnt expect it to. And its bloody rude .

Not everywhere. A handful of states (guess which color) still allow it. Texas actually had a bi-partisan bill that would have banned it - but Perry vetoed it, citing "personal freedom."

Happy Birthday Brenda. You are my vintage

I think 6 is in his mid to late 30's. I think Rap is in his 40's. I think Signy and Ikiki may be around 60 ish.

---

Thanks Magon. Thought you were younger than 50.

I think you could be right about 6 and Rap. That could be possible for them but I never thought about it.

Must be Blue state. My state spent 10 years under libtard control, never passed any reasonable legislation like banning texting or cell use while driving.

Should it also be mentioned that, IIRC, Canada was an pioneer in the legislation requiring headlights on in the daytime?

---

Think I knew that JSF but I didn't include it because we are talking cell phones. It is nice to have someone acknowledge that we Canada can be a head of the pack.
