If they had brains, this would generate cognitive dissonance.
I don’t think that will happen, though.
You have a right to text and drive but not to shoot people. Or something.
The legal age for a driving license must be raised to 21.
Easy - ban cell phones in automobiles - I’m sure this Hogg clown will go along with that.
Eliminate texting while driving?
How about disabling texting app while phone is in motion. I believe technology is already in the phones.
FWIW.... where I live, it isn’t the teens who are texting and driving. It is the adults. By adult, I don’t mean 18 or 21 either... it is the 40 year olds and older. Twice in the last 6 months, I have had a near head on collision... both times, I was able to see middle aged (40 plus) adults coming into my lane while texting. I’m not saying teens don’t do it... I am just stating I see the majority of older adults doing it where I live.
0.0408 people killed per day in school shootings.
texting and driving kills an average of 11 teenagers every day.
More teenagers are killed by automobiles than guns. So we need to ban automobiles.
Wow, automobiles are finally shown for death traps. Now time to talk about teens killed in the cities like Baltimore while not in school.
Privileged, entitled children need to have their cell phone and automobile privileges revoked.
About 3000 babies are deliberately killed by “doctors” every day in the US. I want to hear Comrade Hogg justify that.
Not only that, but how many teens have been bullied into committing suicide by their peers who are now concerned about their own personal safety? I still think the Parkland shooter was bullied to the point he struck back in the only way he felt he could.
What we need is common sense Texting Device control.
Obviously, a stringent background check,
A National Data Base of prohibited persons,
A complete registration program,
A License and Fee Requirement to purchase a Device
Sale only through Federal Licensed Dealers,
A Permit System to carry Devices concealed,
Mandatory software limiting the rapidity with which the texts can be sent,
Small capacity batteries,
Devices can have fixed batteries only, no interchangeable high capacity batteries,
Mandatory Training and Certification,
Mandatory Liability Insurance,
and a Minimum Age Requirement of 35 years to purchase, use or have possession of such a Device.
Such requirements are only Common Sense, infringe on no one's Rights, and if they save just One Child are completely reasonable.
Don’t give teenagers big numbers it just confuses them.
I would be in favor of strictly regulated divers license issued to anyone under 21.....they tend to text, smoke pot, get distracted by others in their car, speed, show off, and otherwise show that hey are incapable of responsively handling a 3,000# 400 H.P. motor vehicle.
On first glance the data appear to be cleaner than some found elsewhere, but note the heavy reliance on media reports, the speculations, and missing outcomes.
