You really know how to make a guy feel good about himself, don't you?

Not just the light CM.. Too many times I see a hundred yard gap in traffic and when I can get by the snail, 90% of the time they are messing with a phone, not changing a CD or changing the station. Were all trying to get somewhere and appreciate people keeping a reasonable gap between your vehicle and the one in from of you. Carrying on a texting conversation takes considerably longer and takes much more of your attention than changing the station on the radio or walking and chewing gun. Any activity that takes your complete focus while you are driving is not the smart thing to do. It doesn't matter if it's putting on lipstick or texting. Just as Clint Smith says when talking about gun safety. Walking up or down stairs with your finger on the trigger, it's not a question of IF, only a question of when. Actions have consequences, it's America, do as you like and pay the higher insurance premium ( or worse) if your luck runs out.

I have visually seen accidents happen because one of the drivers was texting. If Karma only got the driver texting I would have no problem, but it seems to catch innocent people in the net as well. I have a question for the people against it being unlawful to text and drive. How would you feel if a family member was one of the innocent hurt by a texting driver?
The feelings would be no different regardless of the illegality of the texting or anything else that may have caused the accident.
If u have a smrt phone u can go to main menu, camera, take pic. Then go to messaging, attach pic, select pic from photo library and "ok". Then send. (Sorry about abbreviations and punctuation, I'm driving) Then the authorities have the evidence they need to get them later. Don't wait till later, real time evidence is best and you'll be satisfied knowing you made the road a safer place. This can all be done while driving.

I have a question for the people against it being unlawful to carry a handgun. How would you feel is a family member was one of the innocent hurt by a gun owner?
For me, both questions get the same answer.
This is not a Black and white apples to apples question.
Seriously. I was put in harms way 13 times yesterday by the idiots we are speaking of in a few hours time.
Not one ****ing time was I threatened or made uneasy by a gun owner. Not one ****ing time.
Distracted driving is becoming an epidemic. Far worse than legal gun owners causing havoc/death.
I am very sure that is there was a compilation of accidents from this nation wide on a daily basis put together with no fudging the numbers it would make our heads spin so "No".....not the same thing in the least.
Laws already exist for reckless driving and they should cover this. If LEO see's you swerving, driving erratically then that is reckless driving hands down. Just enforce what is in place and take the damn phone and make them pick it up the next day at the station. Easy peasy.
No more new laws please. No more.
The gun analogy does not play here at least for me.

Some people call 'gun violence' an epidemic as well. It's the same base logic as a ban on touching your phone while driving.
If someone hits you with their car while texting, they are and should be on the hook for every penny of damage to you and your vehicle, and possibly criminal charges - just as an irresponsible or violent gun owner should be on the hook for theirs. That ought to be the end of it.
When I first moved to MD, I was pulled over by a state trooper who stepped out into the middle of the highway to flag me down. At the moment he stepped out, (just after I had rounded a bend in the road; the reason they set their trap up in that location), I happened to be glancing over my shoulder looking to merge back into the right lane. I looked back forward and there he was. scared the hell out of me. I told the officer it scared the hell out of me, and asked what would happen when an officer got run over for stepping out into traffic?
Fast forward about 5 years, and sure enough, on rt 32 an officer was killed when the person he stepped out in front of didn't see him. they then decided to end the practice... after putting the girl that hit him through the wringer w/ vehicular manslaughter charges, etc..

edit: Howard Co Police, not State.
woman was fined $310 for the traffic violation. Grand Jury didn't indict for manslaughter.

Yup......no "New" laws are required.
Again, if the stats were truly available we would see epidemic levels of distracted driving.
If u have a smrt phone u can go to main menu, camera, take pic. Then go to messaging, attach pic, select pic from photo library and "ok". Then send. (Sorry about abbreviations and punctuation, I'm driving) Then the authorities have the evidence they need to get them later.

No. I DON"T F*** WITH MY PH WHEN I DRIVE!!
I don't want to be the idiot having a accident taking the pic of the idiot playing with her ph. Period. If I'd had a passenger they would have been photographed.
So if you are being as "responsible" as possible by texting at a stop NOT while driving they are still jamming you up?
So, you start ****ing with people..... they are not going to stop texting, they are just going to do it going down the road where they can't be seen as easily.
Good call.

Distracted driving is the new DUI. With all the pot heads, tweakers, drunks and cell phone users on the road, it is a scarier place than ever. It seems like rear end collisions are happening at a brisker pace than before. Many people cannot control their behavior with this technology. It is as addicting for some people as drugs. It will take new technology by the police to fight the abuse.
