Fines Fail To Curb Cell Phone Usage While Driving
andylim writes "An in-depth study of over 14,000 London drivers by the Transport Research Laboratory has found an increase in the number of London motorists making and taking calls using their handsets at the wheel between 2008 and 2009, even though harsher penalties were introduced in 2007. It seems that most people, at least in London, still don't respect the fact that there's a much higher risk of being involved in an accident if you're using your cell phone."
Not just in London, I think you will find that this is the case everywhere in the world...
You can tell how powerful someone is by the magnitude of the crime they can commit and be able to get away with.
Tell me what is it about cell phones that makes a conversation on your cell phone any less distracting than having a conversation with a passenger? Add the fact that you're probably driving with only one hand on the wheel or in the case of texting actively looking away from the road and figiting with the keypad... I find it highly unlikely that what you claim is indicative of reality.
Sigs are too short to say anything truly profound so read the above post instead.
