Where I am supposed to be
|
they have it specific because "distracted driving" leaves much open to interpretation..."no texting while driving" is explicit and much easier to enforce. So eating while driving, applying makeup, shaving, etc. are adequately addressed by non-specific distracted driving laws? Or do we need laws specific to these activities as well to ensure that people are aware of what is allowed/not allowed while driving? Sorry, but if use of cell phones (whether texting or talking) needs to be spelled out specifically then we should do the same for these other activities. (I don't believe this by the way) Also, there should be a law against drivers speaking to passengers while driving as this is no less a distraction then talking on a cell phone. maybe i'm unique, but i've never heard of a person getting a ticket for eating or putting on makeup while driving That is the point. They would get a ticket for distracted driving. I have seen people driving down the road with a book leaning on the steering wheel so that they could read it while driving. Are they any less distracted then somebody sending a text? But I know of no one advocating for a "reading while driving" law.

I saw a guy driving and changing his shirt while driving. Are you kidding me?? Go to a gas station or heck pull over on a side street.

Some dimbulb rear-ended me while putting on her my makeup. I wanted to beat the snot out of her. Did she mess up your lipstick when you were applying it was it the eye shadow?

Go to a gas station or heck pull over on a side street. look on the bright side, at least it wasn't his pants HA HA I suppose, but since we were driving down the road, he could have already done that or not yet gotten that far yet. So maybe the cars behind or ahead of me saw that part of the mobile wardrobe swap

Go to a gas station or heck pull over on a side street. look on the bright side, at least it wasn't his pants wait, i have been known to change clothes when driving, but i do wait until i get to red lights. my favorite story is i had just pulled of my shirt and pants when a street car (trolley if you must) pulled up next to me...fully loaded with tourists...i just non-chalantly sat there like driving in my underwear is something i always did...

We lived in Hawaii when I was a little baby and I guess a group of them swarmed my stroller and started taking all these pictures with me. My dad told me this, and I am creeped out that I am in some family vacation album somewhere in Japan.
