InformationWeek normally posts great content, but today Ed Hansberry and I are about to have words.
It took a number of years for people to get religious about wearing seatbelts. Some have enough common sense to put them on and others had to get tickets. It is the same with holding a cell phone while driving. It needs to be a ticketable offense.
When are we going to stop legislating stupidity?
If someone is stupid enough to have an accident while not wearing their seatbelt and talking on the phone, Charles says LET THEM!
If they harm someone else because of their stupidity, then they had better have insurance and that person will receive reparations.
People, wake up and stop giving up your FREEDOM because of your FEAR!
The state of Illinois may soon make it illegal to text while driving. If you are seen by an officer looking down at your lap multiple times, without lifiting the phone to place a call you can be ticketed anywhere between $50-$500. Good Lord!
That’s a great point, and I agree for the most part, but if I die because some idiot is on their phone, there’s really no way to pay me back :/
