Never had an accident where I hit something, I’ve been hit 11 times while not moving, twice by drunks. Investigated hundreds of accidents, and most were caused by “inattention” by drivers, only one by actual “excessive speed”. Failure to yield right of way is the number one collision cause, and cell phones have really increased the number. A kid chasing a loose ball into the street is just like a driver on a cell phone, but not surrounded by a steel cage.

We ban texting, but hands free- just say it’s a “business call”. BAN HAND HELD, restrict “hands free”, and do the same as drunks, inattention = jail!

Perhaps, if they read their morning comics on their cell phones while driving to work . . .

I thought this one was particularly unfunny. The comments from the peanut gallery didn’t help. Now I’ll go take my antidepressants.

A remarkably clean kill ?
