In Europe even holding your phone to your ear to talk while driving is illegal. Why don't the Americans get it?
Answer:
I completely agree with you, look at all the unfortunate lives that have been harmed because of inconsiderate people texting while driving.
Yes, they are THAT dumb
Ammmmmm we have that now. wake up
What we "get" is that libs like you want a law on everything down to having to brush your teeth at night.
Hey I drove from New Mexico to Illinois and I needed to keep busy somehow.
Because the legislators obviously do it as well. Oh wait, they all have chauffers...
hmmm, their kids do it?
or they just have to make the argument that it isnt worth the time, even though while arguing they could have made a decision.
Well its called the risk factor. Its boring just to drive. So Americans like to throw in risks. Can I drive while texting? Can I drive while reading a magazine? Can I drive while makeing an omlet? It will continue until someone sues a phone company blameing text messageing for their accident.
Hey it is not my fault that there are poeple out that that are unable to multitask!! I am a pro at texting while driving..it is just another something to do while driving.if they outlawed that shouldn't they outlaw putting on makeup, eating, talking on the phone, writing things down and all of the millions of other things that people do while driving!!
Why isn't it illegal to stick your head in a pumpkin while driving?
Sometimes laws are just plain stupid. If you are stupid enough to drive with a pumpkin on your head, no law will stop you and no cop will be able to stop you.
Unenforcable, stupid laws that restrict everybody because of a few idiots are wrong.
I'd like to think that the American public was being given the benefit of the doubt, and given the chance to show whether or not they could be responsible.
There are already laws on the book which would apply to driving while distracted be it texting, cell phones, eating or whatever. Legislators like to create legislation whether it is needed or not. Our government has a group of people who want to legislate common sense which will never work..
Maybe you should be the one to let them know about this.
taking away my right to text and drive takes away from my freedom of speech. it is my first ammendmend right. How else will I talk to people. In the phone? that is so 20th century...
They are not dumb, they are responding to the pressure of the mobile phone lobbyists. Wireless companies in America do not want limits placed on the use of their products.
Unfortunately, most political decisions in the US are not based on what is good for the people. They are based on who makes the most noise and is able to get the attention of the politicians.
About four weeks ago five high school girls were killed in a head on collision with a tractor trailer. They hit the truck going 60 mph.
Phone records indicate that the driver may have been sending a text message when it happened.
That settles the debate for me!
From my many years here in America, Americans are like Burger King's slogan, "Have It Your Way." Have you ever heard the term "The Ugly American"
To Many Americans Don't appreciate the freedom we have so we abuse it.
How many years has the law said don't buy and use illegal fireworks-but every year we do just that.
Let me show you how much of a prophet I am...Even though it's against the law Americans will be Shooting Their Bullets In The Air Come New Years Eve And Only God Knows Where They'll Come Down! The legislators are the problem but they've got plenty of company.
