that 9 times out of ten, if I get stuck behind some idiot driver, or SEE some moron driving carelessly or poorly, when I finally get past them guess what? They are talking on a cell phone!:Q

People have to take a eye exam when getting their license and if they can't pass the test without their glass's the law says they must wear them when they drive.

I think they should have a distraction test as part of getting your license.

If you want to drive and talk at the same time, you should have to take the DRIVING test while gabbing on the phone. Flunk the test and if you are pulled over with a cell phone with-in your reach it's an automatic ticket!!

Pass the test and you get a code on your license that say's you are competent.

Sound like a good idea to anyone else??

Others DO seem to like them. That's WHO I post them for.

Thank you I dont.

Perhaps others need to get the stuff forwarded to their email for a week. Or search for jokes for 1 night. Beats me, but it seems kinda lame ass to post jokes any Joe can find with a 1 word search

Oh wait...This is ATOT, people dunno how to google....*heh* My bad, forgot that part!

Wow, thread crap alore.

Though I would prefer a person slow down if they're on a cell phone than to be driving fast AND be distracted. At least they're being a bit safe.

And PS, don't ever stop with the jokes! Those guys are just jealous they're not as popular.

WTF is with you people bashing on Brutuskend? He is a better poster than a lot of people here. I and many others find his posts quite entertaining. You don't have to read the jokes if you don't want to, so don't come into his threads with rude comments.

And as for the topic of this thread, I agree. The ticket should be really expensive too.

I don't care whether you drive fast or slow with the cell phone, the point is at least some of your attention is off of the road. Some people can handle this better than others I'm sure, but it's not a good thing for anybody to be doing IMO.

Agree that allot of people can't handle it but I personally find that I concentrating on the road even more then usually when I?m on cell phone then if I?m not. Guess because I know that you lose concentration when you are on cell phone I compensate it by concentrating even more on the road while I?m on the cell phone.

Wasnt rude. You want rude?? I simply said why spam with crap when I can google probably 99% of his jokes. What if I posted every article on MSN.com every day so you guys could read the news? Would that get old?

No, I just skip over what I don't care to read, here as well as news papers, MSN, whatever. That's the great thing about free choice!

You mean I have a choice??
KICK ASS!
:D

Look, I wasnt trying to flame. In your 7000 some odd posts I havent ever said anything. Why? Wasnt goona make a big deal. Someone else mentioned it, so I voiced my opinions. Guess what....That free choice goes both ways. I can choose to not read or I can choose to state how I feel. Provided I dont harp on it in every thread (Which as I said this is the first time I've EVER said anything) then it shouldnt be a problem.

Obviously some people have a problem understanding that. So, just how "free" are our choices then?

Talking to cellphone while driving was made illegal at beginning of this year in Finland. Sucks for us who can actually do two things at the same time. The ticket is only same what you'd get driving without seatbelt tho, so there's lots of us who have absolutely no intention of obeying this law.

Simple, just get a prescription windshield!

Well, won't be long until talking on a cell phone will be illegal in all states. Well, unless you're using a hands-free phone. I do talk on the phone while driving but always have the phone in my right hand when I don't have the hands-free hooked up. This allows me to keep my left hand on the steering wheel (which is how I drive 99% of the time anyway) and I still reach my turn signals so I can alert others to my lane-changes and merging.

And, I have no problem dropping the phone in mid-sentence if I get into serious traffic. Have done that many a time. Or just hang up on them and drop it and focus on driving.
