Talking to a passenger in the car is “distracting”, having children in the car is “distracting”, bill boards are “distracting”, idiots in other cars are distracting, a pretty girl walking down the street is distracting - when will this stop?

I guess we should ban all sound and other passengers from the vehicle, etc. Anything can be a distraction that hurts or even kills - accidents happen with bikes, scooters, horses, heck, even walking. I guess the “safe” thing is to not travel anywhere.

You can’t make everything thing “safe” without taking away liberty of movement and travel. Lawyers are the real winners in these things.

Yes enough with the damn government and more laws.

funny how we drove for 100 years and people did all kinds of things while driving. Now people trust these government morons to make things better for us.

It's always some fake threat that they the media and government want so save us from like CO2, global warming, distracted driving, the BP oil spill etc. . yeah sure they are such angels. NO more like evil demons. Think why are they proposing such laws. Politicians , government and the media are pure evil . To entrust all this power in them is really dumb of people .

I'm so ready for CW2.

...a formation of F-16’s flying low overhead is distracting, roadside memorials are distracting,...

… a pretty girl walking down the street is distracting …

When I was living in Hawaii about 30 years ago there was a popular bumper sticker – “Hey! Watch my rear, not hers”.

Maybe it will stop idiot politicians from standing at the busiest intersections with their signage.
