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.
Oh, but you see, it’s all about nanny-statism. We mustn’t let common sense intrude when “nanny state laws” would result.... /s
We've had two woman drivers killed by trains recently here (Raleigh/Durham NC), also resulted in dead children. A couple of weeks ago, a female school bus driver crossed the line killing a firefighter.
It's time to pull the plug on cell phones.
