FFS! Stop texting and driving!

103. The police in my state did a sting, about a year or so ago, on people talking/texting while driving.

I wish they would do it again, because there was a huge drop in people doing this shit, at least for several months.

Rumor has it that the cops are reluctant to do it again, because they think it will increase the accident rate because motorists will try to hide the fact that they are texting/talking.

I can sort of understand their reasoning, but I can easily tell when someone is texting. They look at their lap, then maybe remember to look at the road, then back at their lap...and like another poster pointed out their crappy driving is a dead give-away to what they are doing.

I wish the state would suspend the driving licenses of people who text/talk on their cell while driving, and would revoke the licenses of people who are repeat violators. I think that would put a large dent in the problem.

I think people who insist on their right to text/talk while driving are a bunch of egotists who think their blabbing is more important than the lives and safety of the rest of us.
