    I wrote a paper/did homework once or twice while driving to school. Smart? no. Certainly not. Doing it while smoking and having my coffee probably made it worse. But I always considered myself a good driver, I'd say the combo of those 3 probably put me on par with half the other drivers on the road giving 100% attention.

    Yeah, but you did it ONCE, and you ultimately know better. I'm talking about people who consistently do it and don't think twice about it.

    I'm pretty you'd get a ticket for a lap dance while driving.

    I've never been given a ticket for receiving a lap dance while driving.

    And if a cop tried to give me one, I'd have the chick give the cop a lap dance to get me out of a ticket. You KNOW that is guaranteed to get you out of a ticket - what cop says no to that?

    Or eating while driving... or doing makeup while driving... or changing the radio station while driving. There's a number of things that people do that take their attention away from the road.

    We SHOULD be focusing on the root of the problem: Bad drivers.

    It's not the distractions, it's the shitty drivers. I think the driving exam should be much harder and we should have to take it more regularly. I did a presentation on elderly drivers a while back and there was a case study where a guy who crashed into a farmers market was 94 years old and hadn't taken a driving exam since 1918. People are always screaming about guns, but cars kill way more people than guns every year in America.

    Only because she doesn't have a lap.

    I'm pretty sure that cop would be MORE than happy to have a chick's crotch in her face!

    Both while driving and on my bike I've seen a lot of bad drivers but a disproportionate amount is from people using their cell phones to talk and text. All the data shows the same thing

    Hang up and drive... respect the lives of the rest of us

    Speaking of bikes.... I see a lot of people riding bikes that don't follow the rules of the road!

    I personally think texting while driving is very scary and penalties should be increased.

    Kids these days (and some adults) have no idea how fast they are traveling and looking down for a few seconds to text while driving has lead to many deaths. I think people drive terrible while they are talking and holding a phone, but there are some pretty scary stories of young promising kids dying because they were texting while driving. I understand the temptation as I have often wanted to do quick response while driving, but I hope to see increased enforcement and penalties for this.

    Why aren't the Feds talking about how dangerous it is to swat a mosquito off your face while you drive? A study says that this causes 10,000 deaths per year. Don't the Feds live on the South like most Americans? A nice long prison sentence will put an end to this behavior.

    Obama is hiding this from American taxpayers, who are eager to pay for longer prison sentences.
