This new texting & driving law with a $100 fine is an issue with me, but it’s the popular thing right now. If they are worried about distracted drivers, then why not take ALL forms of entertainment (radios, DVD players, etc) out of cars? And, they’d better take the kids out of the car too because they sure are a distraction while driving! While we are at it lets remove all passengers since you cannot talk to someone in your car and focus on the road ahead!
Also, Giant electronic billboards that light up brightly along the freeway are a distraction, so take down all forms of advertising, because those take our eyes off the road as well. Construction areas are distracting and are extremely dangerous too, we probably should stop fixing the roads. Come to think of it, pretty much everything you do while behind the wheel is a distraction! So instead of banning cell phones, why don’t we just improve our driver’s training courses?
The state, in it’s infinite wisdom, has started putting up these electronic billboards along interstates where they can broadcast messages to drivers like, “Click it or Ticket” and “You drink, You drive, You lose”, but my favorite is: ”AVOID DISTRACTIONS WHILE DRIVING”. You have to look away from the road, while on a 70mph freeway, to read a sign that says avoid distractions! Is this the epitome of irony or what?
This is the same idiotic left-wing liberal socialism that says guns kill people, lets take away all the guns! You know what, the average person is so stupid, we should just make cars that drive and park themselves, because after 100 years of driving people just cant handle it. Oh wait, they already make those.
