Driving here in Florida is terrible Red light running is becoming a huge problem and people tailgate me while im driving the A quite a bit. But the way i look at it is the same way i look at riding a motorcycle. I enjoy so I am going to continue to do it with the risks always in the back of my mind. Hopefully I will be able to continue to drive/ride around on a nice day and stay clear of any accidents. Im also hoping that people notice the A so if the hit something it will wont be me since they are looking at the car
Unfortunately people find it that they must talk on their cellphones every where they go. The real problem now is texting while driving. That to me surpasses talking on the cellphone. It is probably the dumbest thing you can do next to driving blindfolded. I believe there are studies out there that show it is worse then driving drunk, if thats possible.
Like you mentioned, Cool Hand, technology will always be there and fortunately there are people smart enough to make programs and devices that take some of the distractions away. There are programs now that let you talk, it converts what youve said into a text message and will send it for you. Now we just need everyone to use it instead of taking their hands off the wheel and their eyes off the road to send that oh so important text about god nows what.
