The New Cell Phone Law

[eejit101]

Driving on the phone to someone limits your concetration, a huge study in the UK found that people were 45% less committed to focusing on the road.

45% man.

Thats a LOT.

They might not have the right, but this just saves lives. Period.

If you dont agree with that, then WTF?

What I find interesting about the whole thing is ...

It is illegal to drive and talk on the phone,

but it its not illegal to drive and dial the phone,

or to text someone while driving. How much sense does

that make?

No, dosent make sense.
What makes sense here is to know that when you distract yourself by any means, you are actualy harming the freedom of others, with the odds you creating to happen an accident.

Cant argue nothing if the people of the state want the law in place, as long as thats true i have no problem with it. But if its something that is unwanted by the majority, and is only present to generate more income for the PD's, then im opposed. people have it rough as it is nowadays, i dont know why theyd vote for something that'll just take more money out of their pockets. honestly, i think I want it to just be as simple as; focus while you're driving, ya know. I think that a law shouldnt be needed and people should jsut realize that theyre traveling in a 1/2 ton plus vehicle that generates a lotta force, even at low mph's. People should just know its common sense, but there has to be a law and people have to be taxed??? I tihnk my frustrations just comes with the lack of common sense in people. Shouldnt even need a law like that because it should be common sense that a moving vehicle can hurt people. Am i being presumptious or should people just know that??

I don't really get the point of using your cell phone while driving anyway. It seems to me there's pretty much always a situation where doing that can be avoided. To me it boils down to this- people can be and often are morons who need laws to tell them not to do something that they should already know is a bad idea/illegal/harmful to oneself or others in the first place.
