Stop The Madness

How many times have you been driving down the highway and gotten stuck behind someone doing less than the speed limit, only to find, as you pass them, that they are on a cell phone?? And, I don't know the official police statistics, but I'm gonna say that 85% of the time, it's a woman!!! Now, I'm not being sexist, just a realist. This is not about woman are worse than men when it comes to "driving to distraction", it's about where does it go from here? The cell phone used to be "for emergency use only". Yeah sure, I remember that. And I also remember that a US President once said "no more taxes"!! How have both of those worked out.



How can we stop the madness of cell phone driving? I mean, now, people are texting while driving, applying make-up while driving (and 85% of these offenders are also women), eating while driving, picking their teeth while driving, fixing their hair while driving and oh yes, receiving oral pleasure while driving!!! Now car makers have installed GPS systems, DVD players and pretty soon, actual HD TV's in the dashboard of cars!! Hello, whatever happened to concentration while driving? What ever happened to driving? It seems that today's automobile's secondary responibility is to transport people to a destination. It's primary responsiblity seems to be to entertain!! And the higway police and local police are powerless to stop this madness. There would actually have to be a new police department created just to monitor and punish those that get behind the wheel of a vehicle for the reason of entertainment & personal hygene!!! They would be called the D2DPD or the Driven 2 Distraction Police Department.



I appreciate anyone who has read this far because I was just testing this blog stuff out and began typing aimlessly, although on a topic that I am most passionate about. So, don't laugh
