Personally I think there are bigger problems on the road than people talking on their phones. I think people that are 65+ should have to get their eyes and reaction time tested every two years, it will not take a long time to test everyone on that kinda thing.
And people should be fined or dealt with the same way if they are driving and eatting/drinking.
People take driving for granted and considering the amount of traffic out there now it is crazy watching some people drive. I use to take 14th St from the SW to Airport because the brutal driving I would witness on the Deerfoot. You would think merging is the hardest task in the world... |
This is true, but not relevant to the arguement. If talking on the cell phone while driving is brutal, outlaw it. Who cares if there are other things that are bad ... they should fix them as well ( I believe they have to test every 5 years until a higher age, then it is biannual.)
This arguement is the same as two people are speeding, one gets caught but they shouldn't get a ticket because dammit the other guy was speeding as well, and if you can't get them both, you should let them both off.
