BEEEEP. BEEEP. They look up startled.

STOP IT.

Last week we saw a woman with two little kids in the backseat and a fucking Baby on Board sign texting away as she drove 45 up a busy main thoroughfare.

People are unbelievable. They need to enforce texting and driving laws as strongly as they enforce DUI laws.

Why are headphones worse? nt Logical Apr 2014 #14

Probably because they mask out background noises The Straight Story Apr 2014 #15

To be honest, earphones may block out less background noise than a standard stereo system. Gravitycollapse Apr 2014 #16
