Perhaps seeing a drunk driver dodging through traffic about to ‘wipe out’ innocent bystanders on the sidewalk, and you need to call 911. wait. I had to turn my car off and put it in park, but I had to pull off the road I was on so I wouldn’t cause an accident. But, he was last seen 10 mins ago heading the direction I was going before I turned off. Oh now I am confused, but I think he was driving a blue sedan? Or was it a red SUV? Either way BRILLIANT idea!

Perhaps we should censor what people see on their way driving into work everyday. Perhaps instead of cell phone app distractions lets all stare at the guy in the other lane trying to read his newspaper and drive? The lady two cars up who is applying her lipstick while drinking coffee and using Kleenex to remove the lipstick smudges from her teeth? How about that guy in the far lane driving with no headlights at night? Perhaps the guy who is trying to change or put on or take off a jacket? Or the guy who is tying his tie and driving? You get people who are so concerned with these distractions, they become distracted and bang! They become the distraction to other drivers! Someone stops. But the driver who is distracted with all these other drivers is too busy paying attentiuon to all these other “idiots” on the road. This driver doesn’t realize that he too is now being distracted and a distraction to and from other drivers.

So, perhaps the easiest solution is that driving is now outlawed all together? It’s not the apps, the cell phones, the radios, or anything else that causes accidents. It’s the fact that too many drivers have LOST ALL COMMON SENSE! Friends in your car can be a distraction. Family can be a distraction. Have you ever had a kid(s) scream at the top of their lungs while driving and you’d swear they just had an arm ripped off. Of course you turn around to check on them quickly. But now children are a distraction? Perhaps we all need to take a look at our OWN driving habits to see how EACH of us can make an improvement to help better everyone else’s driving experience?!?

I am with you on these distractions, and agree they need to be limited. But at this rate everything will become a distraction, and there will be NO ONE allowed in a car except yourself without the cell phone, radion, GPS or anything else. Perhaps someone gets too hot in their single car, and turns on the A/C, then too cold and turns it off. Now the heater controls become a distraction! Where does this end? a single car for a single person, in a glass bubble with no radio, heater, or room for anything but yourself?

To me, I believe COMMON SENSE is what is lacking in drivers these days. Common sense would eliminate a lot of accidents and situations that arise on our roads.

I truly believe what Trixie wrote. Is radio and cell phones were not present in the equation, these drivers would be staring at their own belly button lint. Why? Because they lack COMMON SENSE. When you lack common sense, EVERYTHING becomes a distraction! EVERYTHING!

PATRICK HIT IT RIGHT ON WITH “THAT’S CRAZY” ETC.

My two cents.

Geez. More driver distractions!
