Wow; news from duh department of duh obvious.  SignatureWe're all here because we're not all there.

If I had a sneezing fit, the passenger could steer the car and save my life, so you are wrong! (Excuse me - I'm just stooping to the logic level of some of the respondees I see on various news groups.) > http://www.ng2000.com/fw.php?tp=driving > > FRIDAY, May 25 (HealthDay News) -- While not as dangerous as talking on a cell phone while driving, passengers can cause distractions that boost crash risks, an Australian study finds. No surprise. Especially if the spouse is feeling argumentative. I think all passengers should be bound and gagged before moving off. ;~) Graham >> http://www.ng2000.com/fw.php?tp=driving >> [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > >Graham Like I've said before, one of those pretty red ball gags, like in pulp fiction.

I had a (one-way) arguement with a non-driving wife. (That's the worst combination!) I almost pulled the steering wheel off! Present "Spousal Equilivant" and I don't argue much when in car. Her's is new and mine is a 1964, whch might have something to do with it. >> On Sat, 26 May 2007 17:25:43 GMT, Eeyore >> [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] >(That's the worst combination!) >I almost pulled the steering wheel off! I've had a few of those myself. I came to the conclusion it was best to eject the wife (not from the car, but from my life.) For some reason her subsequent husband(s) have demonstrated similar responses to their states of matrimoney. >Present "Spousal Equilivant" and I don't argue much when in car.

While this may be true, how many more accidents would occur if there was no car pooling? > http://www.ng2000.com/fw.php?tp=driving > > FRIDAY, May 25 (HealthDay News) -- While not as dangerous as talking on a cell phone while driving, passengers can cause distractions that boost crash risks, an Australian study finds. This is obvious and has always been known to be true. Unfortunately there is no way to stop this, but other distractions like cell phones and radios and food should definitely be banned from cars.

There are times when food / drink (of the right type) are OK, so it shouldn't be a blanket ban. Eating at the wrong time is covered under other laws (dangerous driving, inattention, etc.) Eating a bowl of sugar-frosted-flakes while manauvering an off-ramp into traffic is not good.

Maybe we should just ban morons like you who can't do 2 things at once from driving. > On May 29, 11:34 am, Speeders & Drunk Drivers are MURDERERS > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > Maybe we should just ban morons like you who can't do 2 things at once > from driving. Nothing wrong with doing two things at once, if you have all the knowledge that applies and do an honest risk assessment. It's the people who incorrectly this this applies to them who cause problems. > http://www.ng2000.com/fw.php?tp=driving > > FRIDAY, May 25 (HealthDay News) -- While not as dangerous as talking on > a cell phone while driving, passengers can cause distractions that > boost crash risks, an Australian study finds. From some study I heard about, talking to a passenger while driving is considerably safer than taking on a phone. The reason being that the passenger sometimes spots a problem the driver could miss -- a distraction, but still another set of eyes.. |
