Yeah but you still see idiots break this law, mainly beema drivers, who
think their **** don't stink. If I had a dollar for every idiot I see breaking this law, I would be very rich, I could give up work. "dave" wrote in message . ..

THey do good science. Wonder how they are going to find an average driver tho. I think I mentioned on this forum. I was stopped at the auburn and Burwood lights in Hawthorn. A woman in a gold 350 SLC mercedes turned right across the nose of a roady going straight thru the intersection .. He swerved and yelled.. She stopped over the ped crossing on the road she was turning into.. and he rode pointedly around the front.. telling her to get of the phone. SHe had a phone in one hand and the other hand on the wheel.. STILL and hadnt stopped talking. Yeah in some cases it should be a death penalty offence. Dave |

Anecdotal evidence I know but dinner conversation came around to this subject the other and a number of people admitted to missing a turn off or similar occurence while using a hands free. God help us soft targets. CC -- cogcontrol |

The scientific studies have had no effect, but maybe Mythbusters can make a difference. Will the commercial 'science' show pickup this segment? -- aeek |

On 2005-10-24, dave (aka Bruce)
was almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea: Parbs wrote: "dave" wrote in message ... I,ll make sure I catch that. THey do good science.

Hmmmmm thats my definition of good science whether or not cameras are involved. What prey tell is yours? Not having to perform an experiment over 5 separate episodes before they finally got the result that basic physics implies they ought to have gotten first time if they did their calculations half decently? Or weakening a bridge so substantially, that the result they tried to show of an oscillation in a bridge was so unconvincing that it was not possible to say it was oscillations that killed it. Or tonight's -- should crash test dummies be reused? Are their joints the same strength each time they put it back together again? A lot of their show seems to be focussed on blowing things up. Very pretty, but not very scientific. -- TimC You cannot kill Tim without fracturing eternity. -- sjc on AFDA |
