no thanks, we have enough nanny state laws. I’ll be a little more vigilant and watch out for the idiots out there myself. It’s part of the price of freedom and I’m prepared to pay it.

Being more vigilant does no good on a two lane road, oncoming traffic with a 130 mph closing speed and the other driver crosses center 100 feet in front of you. Mario Andretti could not even avoid it.

We have had three head ons during the last two weeks in this town/area resulting in 5 deaths. A town of only 100,000.

I have had three close calls in the last week from people talking on cell phones. Two rolling thru stop signs and one lane change that would have taken my right front fender off.

Hm. So, according to you, we must sacrifice common sense on the grounds that we have enough "nanny state laws?" Do you likewise believe that DUI laws are "nanny state laws?"
