>>this money is wasted on preventing a behavior that is not linked to a marked increase in traffic fatalities.
Fatalities? Perhaps. What about auto accidents? In the last 4 years, I have been rear-ended by a person texting and my wife was rear-ended by a person texting. I’ve been driven onto the shoulder by texters many times. I’ve seen texters startled by a red light turning green in the lane beside them and jumping out in the intersection on a red turn light.
If I had a choice between sharing the road with drunks or texters, I’d choose the drunks because at least they are looking out the windshield.
Well you should get Bloomberg and Obama to ban cars or humans so you will be safe.
Actually its government roads that are the problem.
with private roads then you could choose from among alternatives what kind of road and who was allowed on that private road , you know freedom , freedom of choice. the problem is not texters , it’s GOVERNMENT roads.
If you trust texters more than drunks you are an idiot and don’t deserve to be listened to on the issue.
