f*** I hate that cellphone law. Some of us are able to prioritize while driving, you know! I'll always tell someone to hang or, or that I'll call them back if traffic and conditions get bad. I always mirror-check while driving and talking.
To those of us with actual skill, talking on a cell phone is like actually having a conversation with someone in the car. We can all talk to people in the car while driving, so what's the diff?
Yet again, those of us with ability take it up the pooper for those who shouldn't have licenses in the first place. Instead of removing the blight of under- and un-educated drivers off our roads (and thus saving us all some money, all but the government I guess), they'll just legislate us into oblivion.
Driver safety through mandatory education? Nah, they aren't getting a cut of that.
Driver "safety" via yet another enforceable monetary measure disguised as a law? Sure, they're all over that!
Wanna know something else funny? Ever since they showed that our budget here in town is a little soft, the cops are suddenly doing radar more often. I wonder why that is?
At least for now, you've got to be doing more than 8 over in a 50 for them to nab you. I thought he had me dead to rights, but I guess I wasn't a big enough fish.
Guaranteed as soon as they make their quota for the next month or two, they're going to be conspicuously absent once again. :angry:
