"drive with a cell phone" .... ohmygawd. Hey, what about drive with one of those GPS thingies, or changing CDs or scanning thru XM radio or....? Maybe we should require a sterile car so that nothing, absolutely nothing can distract the driver. (yep - this crusade about talking on a cellphone is a hot button for me). Crusade all you want. Argue from silly extremes all you want. Talking on the phone while driving increases risk of having a serious accident by 4-5 times. But you prove my point beautifully. People don't really give a rat's arse about being safer if it inconvieniences them, even if the inconvienience is slight. |
