We’ve all seen them, you know those fools wandering from lane to lane, driving well under the speed limit, drifting off at green lights…. It really irks me too. But lets really think about it.

Do we want to ban that? What about drinking a hot cup of Joe on the way to work, or eating a burger at lunch while running errands? All those things are distracting, heck even tuning the radio distracts you. Do we want the government intruding on every aspect of life?, Or, should we just cite those who violate a traffic law while texting, talking on the phone, eating a burger etc?

Its not about saving lives, as the government’s own numbers show only 900 people died in cellphone relates crashes. This is far less than deaths from aspirin, shall we ban aspirin too?

Lets not concede more liberty to government regulations on the short sighted hope that you will be safer.. You wont be.
