And just as it was clueless Outhouse Express users who mainly top post, it
is more clueless Outhouse Express users who hit "reply" and post their one
liner at the bottom without taking the time to trim properly.

Like some CEO riding in a limo who was just on the verge of making the
deal of the century (like raising the price at the pumps).

There, in the middle of the night on a cross country run, half asleep
at the wheel, came a voice from nowhere, "HEY! WAKE UP!" When the
driver came to, 50 yards off the freeway, he could still hear the
voice saying, "This is ONSTAR. We see you may have had an accident. Do
you need help? STOP! Don't touch that cell phone! You may still be
driving!"

Sorry. I was just trying to let people know about the law change so
they would not get a ticket and a fine. But.... make a civil
statement; start a civil war. :0)

Seriously, since it is admitted that using a cell phone is distracting
(I don't know about the three drinks) and considering the numbers of
people I see using the phone while they drive, it's enough to make me
want to stay off the road.

While many may not agree with me, I particularly like the portion
about young drivers. When my son started driving, he needed to
concentrate on defensive driving until his experience level had been
advanced. Stereos, friends, cell phones, etc, are all things he wasn't
ready to deal with while learning to drive. I am very thankful for
some rules which led to his arriving home safely. Today, he continues
to get safe driving awards from his employer.

At least for the young drivers, I hope this will lower the death rates
even further than the previous changes to licencing in California have
done.

Because, young sir... it is up to us aged types to try and beat some ****ing
common sense into younger, "I already know everything" minds.

I am constantly amazed and amused by younger types that assume they are wise
and elders aren't... One day, you will have enough experience to see that
this is, indeed, so... In the store where I earn my daily bread, the
youngsters have little idea of what the nether regions on an automobile look
like - yet they refuse to use a trouble light (FWIW, this is a global
thing - not just my store). The more experience the tech gains, the more
likely it is to see him using a trouble light... So WTF does this have to do
with anything, right? One day, you will see...

Your idea about cell phones not working in a moving vehicle bears merit..
but is poorly thought out. Our area has many roads where it just isn't safe
to pull over.. yet there may come a time where it might be necessary to make
an emergency call from a moving vehicle... The inability to complete the
call can take a distraught driver and add and push him or her over some
edge...

The cell phone has become such a neccessity of life for many (if not most
from what I see in my daily travels) that cutting them off cold turkey could
create a whole 'nother set of problems...

Yussuf Islam (Cat Stevens) rolled it up nicely... "you're still young,
that's your fault..".

From my little raillery remark you came out with all that?
Come on JIM, take a pill.
You don't even know me and I'm closer to YOUR age than you might think.
(I just wont give in to nature so easily)

I had a cell for a short time but I don't NEED it. I find them to be an
annoyance at work, in a private or casual get togethers, in public
places (hey yacker, your private call is invading my public space) and
on the highway.
So disable them at speed, I don't care, but it won't happen. Bleeding
hearts NEED them.

Bottom posted, because well, that's how I read. Hope you didn't hurt
your scroll finger

I get ya on all but that quote at the end. I sure hope that it is
healthy food the BIG bites are taken from... 'cause otherwise you are
apt to have majore problems at age.... Never thought it would happen
to me but all that glop in my arteries led to a 4 way bypass operation
at age 50. I'm feeling MUCH better now. :0)
