Re: Just what we need - more driver distractions

Exactly my sentiment. Here on Long Island some idiots hardly have time to "actually drive" while they are driving.

Coffee, cell phone calls, text messaging, navigation systems and now the internet.

Time has come to get laws banning all of the above from cars.

I come from England originally and they have the right idea.

Personally, I favor the death penalty--regardless of the distraction.

Its already illegal to use those things while you are driving. Banning them from cars suddenly makes criminals out of almost everyone. I keep my cell on me when I go out, and I dont use it while driving, but I would still be breaking the law just by having it on me.

Its illegal to read a book while driving too, should we ban all books from motor vehicles?

Remember, making something more illegal than it already is isnt going to stop the people who were breaking the original law to begin with. (IE, all the people talking on phones and reading, putting on make up, shaving, eating, watching tv, etc, while driving).

And banning said devices from vehicles would make being a passenger even more boring for long trips, and less useful. I always make my passenger call for directions, answer my phone if it may be important, find songs on the mp3 player so I can concentrate on driving, etc.
