It isn't just people with TV's and cell phones... putting on their make-up, eating and not having their hands on the wheel, dozing off, the list goes on and on... what happened to driving privileges, being just that, a privilege!? I haven't read my DMV handbook in a while but the last time I checked driving is a privilege and not a right. A privilege can be revoked. There are way too many incompetent drivers and people with little or no regard for others' safety out there behind the wheel. People just don't have common sense or something. I don't remember things being this bad 10 years ago when I first got my drivers license and I was way more aware of things then (because I was scared). People are just trying to do too many things at one time. There isn't a day that goes by now that I don't see some moron cause some sort of near accident, and in the last three years I've seen more accidents than I have in my life.
The solution isn't more legislation. Parents need to set good examples for their kids, driving instructors need to instill good driving habits in their students to start. The rest of us just need to keep on driving sensibly, as the beautiful quote in Star Wars says, "Stay on target... stay on target... stay on target..." okay getting off my soap box...
Thanks for listening to my rant.
Ivan
