Let's start a lawsuit against cosmetic makers, until they engineer lipsticks that can't be applied while women drive. Or a lawsuit to stop cheeseburger sales until they can prevent drivers from eating them while driving. Then there's coffee drinkers who drive while handling hot coffee. Also need to do something about people holding their pet dog in their lap while driving, very dangerous. And people like Bill Clinton, driving while prostitutes... well you get the idea.

Hello, it's about self control! Take away the drivers licenses from idiot drivers!

Easy enough problem to solve. If you’re moving more than, say, 10 MPH, you charge 25 cents for each text sent or received.

Pass it as a federal tax and use the money to build the wall.

Exactly!

When I check my speed to avoid the cops, I’m distracted! When I dial the radio, I’m distracted! When I check my rear view mirror, I’m distracted. I could go on and on.

I don’t believe these statistics. I do believe that tens of millions of people get in a vehicle and drive each day and their eyes are not always on the road. What the fn solution is, stay home I guess!

Why should passengers on public or private transportation or traveling in vehicles be targeted for the misbehavior of texting drivers who can't behave?

Self-driving cars will eliminate this problem.

“Why should passengers on public or private transportation or traveling in vehicles be targeted for the misbehavior of texting drivers who can’t behave?”

Because people are texting too much as it is, whether moving or not.

[meyer]

What is the appropriate quantity of texting?

[Swordmaker]

Because people are texting too much as it is, whether moving or not.

Oh. Let's stop people from communicating at all. Right?

[BobL]

Enough so they stop annoying me...and stop being a road hazard.

[BobL]

“Oh. Let’s stop people from communicating at all. Right?”

Nope, phone calls are fine, even while driving. It’s texting that needs to stop, at least in public places.

Sure would lived in the Desert for 30 years and mine came with them too.

Glad to see you are fit again. I had my stents put in around noon and was in a poker tournament by 6:00pm. Piece of cake. Heart attack at 44 Stents at 72 that was almost 7 years ago. Caused me to gain a lot of weight though. 😇

Yeah! Now that we are in charge it’s our nanny state! Nanny Nanny Nanny Nanny Nanny Nanny Nanny Nanny Let’s show them Sosa tax are stupid, loose cigarettes are stupid but now with a texting while moving tax we have the answers! We are so smart we can out tax them with Nanny Nanny Nanny taxes.

[BobL]

Naa, don’t want a nanny state...just too many people texting.

[wgmalabama]

True dat but that’s just dumb ass people doing dumb ass things. We need to ridicule, shun, harass but leave the government out of the ridicule, shun, harass part.

[BobL]

I hear you...just griping on my part!
