(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. I just love the drivers who start fiddling with their smart phones while stopped at a traffic light and are still fiddling when the light turns green. If I am right behind them, I'll lean on the horn until they resuscitate themselves and start moving through the intersection. Next time I stop at WaWa for coffee and there's a deputy in there, I might ask how many tickets are handed out for hands-on cell phone use while driving. I'm betting it isn't very many, but I see lots of people doing it. |
