Hands Free Laws!!!!

[Bob Thomas]

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.

It all makes sense and I see many times too. But I also talk while driving (i try to be real carful). Bottom line is whether they are talking on their phones or not many many many many people are totally oblivious while driving.

Try driving in and out of Boston every day for the past 20 years like I have. Then post again........

I got rear ended a couple of weeks ago in a rotary at 5pm in Boston. Gee did he think there might be traffic and should not follow too close to a big a$$ pickup truck????? SMACK !!!!!!
