TEXTING + DRIVING = DEAD MOOSE
Driving while talking on your cellphone may have risks involved, but it’s still possible to do it safely via one way or another. However, when it comes to texting and driving, that’s just a bad mix no matter how you look at it. My roommate texts and drives all the time, even when he’s doing 80MPH down the BQE. It kind of freaks me out and I just wish he’d wait until we got back home. So is it really a surprise to anyone that 89% of Americans think that texting while driving should be against the law?
According to a survey of 2049 people, adults feel that the act of texting and driving is “distracting and dangerous”. Too bad hypocrisy runs deep in this country, ’cause minutes later 66% of the participants admitted to texting while driving. Hell, if this many people are doing it, maybe I should start texting while judo-kicking. It’s completely wreck-less and I have a good chance of hurting someone while doing it!

How about making talking on the phone while driving illegal too? I’m pretty sure 100% of the asked mooses would agree ;)
How about banning EVERYTHING BUT driving, eh? People, these days, are doing every but actually driving. They’re eating, drinking, texting, talking on the phone, listening to ipods, watching TV (yes, dont think the rest of us dont see you doing this with your modified dashboard DVD players – and we DO call the cops on you), playing with their navigation systems, putting on makeup, shaving and you name it…… OTHER THAN ACTUALLY DRIVING.
People need to remember that driving is a privilege and WILL be taken away from them. Its NOT a right, though they probably think it is because we live in the land of ENTITLEMENT not responsibility.
