On another board there was a young person who said s/he could text and drive just fine, it allowed as how texting while on the motorcycle was difficult. Seriously it didn't post long, and then suddenly was gone.
Texting and Driving. All the really cool idiots are doing it!

They are legal in California.. same as a CB in a Big Rig.. it's called "One Touch"
If you can just key the mike to talk it's legal.. it's when you have to dial a number or texting..
A CB or 2-way radio is considered "One Touch" in the USA and legal in all 50 states.
The Pilot Car / Escort Service guiding a Wide Load may use a CB or 2-way radio.
Yep, inattention kills. A lot can happen in the few fractions of a second that you take while switching from thinking about something else to processing the environment around you while you drive in it. So while you are driving, your mind should be on driving.
You have crashes in your garden? wow
Drinking while rototilling. Under reported but kills about 3 or 4 people a year.
True story.
WOW!! Just WOW!!
I don't have a CB, really don't want to listen the other drivers crying about pay or bitching about Blacks and Hispanics...
But for emergency, traffic accidents.. I think they are useful.
But my XM Satellite Radio keeps me company on the road.. and the odd girl hitch hiking from coast to coast.. ;-)
Safer than you might think. You do want to watch pesticide and garden shears use while texting though, that can get ugly.
people still hitch hike? that surprises me... and frankly I wonder how many never make it 8O:-(
We should introduce a £20,000 fine AND a spell in prison until they've paid the fine for any cyclist who is caught going through red traffic lights.
Plus a good rollicking and a slap.
In the interests of safety it would be far better to ban bicycles from the roads.
I would think that the cost in medical care of the idiots who drive, text, and crash outweighs any revenue.
The accident rate has gone up in Alberta since the distracted driving law came into effect. Politicians only look at the revenue as do the insurance companies in particular. Think of all the increased premiums they are getting
There can be if the politicians want it
