though such activity puts other people at risk.
"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.
Got any data to support that?
Yes.
Your google broke?
