A very old man pulled out in front of me yesterday. No cell phone involved. I understand that cell phone usage causes a lot of wrecks (I dont like to call them accidents). I don't think they they should be banned though. I think the penalty should be higher. Like maybe a $30,000.00 fine for being at fault while using a cell.
Another way to look at is that if you are at fault in a collision and were talking on a cell phone or texting you should get at least the same sentence as if you were driving drunk. Both situations involve voluntarily diminished capacity, why should they be treated differently?
We all like to think of ourselves as rugged individualists. But when push comes to shove most of us are sheep who do what we are told. Worst of all, a lot of us become unpaid agents of whoever is controlling the agenda by enforcing the current dogma on the few rugged individualists who actually exist.
