Just a short one today.
I heard some people talking about the 'Cell Phone Ban' earlier today. As a fireman I cannot agree more with it. I've had enough trouble getting to emergency scenes without adding another threat on the roads.
What could be so important (or is it self-important) that it cannot wait? Honestly, most people aren't good enough drivers that they can have most of their attention and one of there hands off the road.
A year or so ago the TV series 'Mythbusters' did a segment on this. ("Killer Brace Position" June 22, 2005) The myth tested was is driving while on your cell phone as dangerous as driving while intoxicated. The results were YES.
So the next time you want to know whats for dinner, consider if it is worth your life, or explaining to a grieving mother that your business was more important than her child's life.
Enough preaching,
Dan
WHY?
