Maybe we should ban any car that goes over 70 MPH, put mandatory

breatholizers on the ignition and keep them from running if the seat

belts are not fastened. (they actually tried that in 1974)

That might save more people than banning guns.



Nah... just install a device that blocks the driver from *all* smart phone usage, application of makeup, or eating/drinking, and we're saving thousands of lives.



Oh, and no dogs in your lap when driving. The kids damn well better be strapped in!



We agree on something... except I do take a sip of water occasionally.

Oh sure, so do I. I should have more specific. Eating a whole meal when driving. You know, juggling the burger, fries and milkshake with a knee on the wheel.

The other day on my way to work, I was doing 35mph in an active, flashing lights 35mph school zone. County deputy sheriff passed me IN THE ZONE doing 45-50, on his cell phone. Once we got past it to the 55mph stretch, I set my cruise on 60 and slowly passed him, still in the left lane, and still talking on his cell. Figured if he actually stopped me we'd have a calm, but interesting, discussion.
