Talking on cell phones while driving is good for my business as well as Raider Rons...

Only problem is there is a law making it illegal to wear headphones while driving. This is to prevent walkman use during driving but also applies to the hands free ear sets people are using. This state needs to re-think some old laws!

with Bigfish about the tunnel vision....or in an attempt to maintain good control you go on automatic pilot.

i had this kid pull out in front of me....while talking on his cell phone causing me to almost smash this other guys car....

so he books a right turn just to avoid confrontation....and i left rubber backing up to go get him and trapped him in a parking lot along with the other guy and blocked his exit....

then i run up and he's still talking on the phone....oblivious to my approach STILL.... so i yell at him WHAT THE F__K dude...
blood vesels about to pop.... as the other guy joins me...

hang up that phone ....i yelled. so then he's all upset (good)
and i told him he nearly caused two accidents....because your not paying attention... and he says...but it was my dad yelling at me while on the phone..and i couldnt concentrate ... now his eyes are all watery... and i explained that your phone takes messages....and your supposed to pull over.... i almost called his dad to give him a ration of shat too.

on the other hand...if you get lost , you (sometimes) need to be on it...(a cell phone) if someone is giving you directions to a hard to find spot. but making them hands free wont change a damned thing...people will still be tunnel vision driving or on automatic pilot in a trance.

also: anyone i see on a cell phone gets absolutely no courtesy
because they don't deserve it....and the cell phone drivers that speed and screw me up...have a death wish.

This is what happens when people are distracted from talking on their cell phones!!

Larry,

Your right, hands free nothing to do with it, just not paying attention.

That law shouldn't just be for cell phones though, many times I, I mean a friend of mine,...has a hard time controlling the vehicle when the whopper starts falling apart or when he is reaching for the fries. It is all the same thing, doing too many things at once.

True, hands free headsets are the way to go. It frees up your hand to drink your coffee and have a donut while checking the latest line in the sports section. This way when talking to the bookie you don't have to put anything down and can keep driving to work.

BigFish · 03-17-2006, 06:49 PM

Again...the problem is not a hands issue...it is an issue with people paying attention.

MAC · 03-17-2006, 06:54 PM

I agree, but where do ya draw the line. Will the next thing be no coffee while driving? No smoking while driving? No picking your nose while driving? No talking to a passanger while driving? Sometimes it seems like big brother is being too over protective. After all we do live in a democracy..

BigFish · 03-17-2006, 07:01 PM

Point is when people talk on the phone....they zone out...get tunnel vision......it happens to everyone whether you choose to believe it or not. The guy I saw pull out in traffic today had a look on his face like "Hey, what the hell am I doing in the middle of this street....that car almost hit me!".......oh well....it doesn't really matter what I think anyway.....friggin politicians are gonna vote with whatever makes their stocks rise!

Mac, you can drive barefoot but it's already a law that you can't drive while eating
