Here in AZ, there is no law about texting. but they threatened one, then it failed to pass. HOWEVER, half the idiots in this state think that is the law now cause they are completely ignorant. And now we have the same problem, even though you can text holding your phone in the middle of your goddamn windshield and not get pulled over or ticketed. So again, stupid ass people are the problem Obey the laws. How about just dont text and drive? Or do anything else for that matter. Additionally I am irritated that it takes cell phones to make laws. People have been doing dumb ass crap while driving since cars were invented (well maybe not that long since you had to pay attention to 4 gear levers and a spark advance adjuster back in those days) But you get my point. Eating a sandwich, typing on a laptop, reading a book, PUTTING ON MAKEUP!!!.
I also understand this aspect, and for the record, %95 of the time I see truckers or contractors talking on their phones, they are driving cautiously on the right, or they are pulled over. Props to them. I know phones need to be answered or money can not be made. But I see a few contractors and truck drivers, still being morons, flying down the highway jammering on their phones in and out of lanes.
that air horn idea is great, I should install some on the 910, and the Civic. I am gonna face them out the fender well. HAHAHAHA.
People are on their phones everywhere. Playing with their kids is the biggest thing that bugs me. You are out at a park with your child, and your fucking with your phone. WOW, really? your a great parent. What happens when mister pedo comes along and takes little johnny back to his basement with some candy? Or when little Johnny falls of the playground equipment on his head and you as his parent are the last one to come to him cause you were ON YOUR GODDAMN PHONE. Fucking parents. Then they do the same thing at the supermarket, and at home. Nobody communicates anymore. I make it a point to have dinner with my family every night, No phones if we can help it.
Phoenix is the number one red-light-running city in the US. Yesterday a woman with two children ran a red light only a mile from my house. Because she was on her cell phone.
A huge truck was going through the intersection, She was killed instantly, the kids survived. Now, because of her ignorance, stupidity, and absence of respect for people and the road, her children have to grow up without a mother.
Just put your phones in your glove box, if you have a key to it lock it, then lock it. Put it on silent, and leave it in there til you arrive somewhere. Or pull over to the side of the road.
Really, people it isnt that big of a deal, and even those of you that are "good" at driving on the phone. It only takes a half of a half of a second of distraction, and your done. And there has never been a conversation that any of us have ever had mor important than someone elses, and your own life.
