I am all for banning carrying children in motor vehicles. You're a curmudgeon. And that ain't exactly your most endearing trait. I suspect the Dali Lama is a latent/supressed curmudgeon too. You need to regain/rediscover your patience. So do I. A little. I recommend an hobby. But maybe not watch repair. cheers, Tom -- Nothing is safe from me.

Changing the radio station distracts you, so why not legislate and disable that function if the car is in motion? Driving will always have distractions. The world will never be a perfectly safe place to live. The sooner people accept this and learn to live life anyway, the happier they'll be. If you would like to see such things made illegal, then start a separate thread. This thread is focused on cellphone distractions. |

Ya ogre, ya. I prefer curmudgeon. Go live with yourself. What ever happened to children should be seen but not heard? What is grossly unfair is that is it perfectly legal for landlords and condominium boards to discriminate against cats but not children in the state in which I live. Cats do not bother anyone, while children scream, cry, throw stuff and otherwise disturb the peace (and often sleep) of adults. -- Tom Sherman - Holstein-Friesland Bovinia “Mary had a little lamb / And when she saw it sicken / She shipped it off to Packingtown / And now it’s labeled chicken.” |

"Peter Grange" (clip) If we both get in the car we talk to each other, which must be remarkably like talking on a mobile.(clip) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ No, it's not. When you're talking to someone on the phone, that that person is not aware of your driving situation. You are aware of that fact, so you are more likely to continue talking when you ought to be swerving, braking or weighing the options in front of you. Let's say, for example, the car in front of you suddenly starts to decelerate. If you're talking to your wife, she's probably pressing on the floorboards with her feet, while you are pressing on the brake. You do not have to yank your mind back to the car, because you are both already there. If she, instead, is on the phone with you, there will be a momentary rearrangement in your thought processes which could make a difference in your safety. |
