I mean, the assholes that talk on phones have absolutely no fucking clue of what is going on around them when they are driving. So, have a drink and drive to where ever you want. :D Study: Mobile Phone Users Worse Than Drunk Drivers Fri Mar 22, 1:54 PM ET LONDON (Reuters) - Motorists talking on mobile phones while driving are more dangerous than those who are over the legal drink-driving limit, a report said on Thursday. Tests conducted by the Transport Research Laboratory in Berkshire, England showed that drivers' reaction times were on average 30% slower when talking on a hand-held mobile compared to when they had been drinking alcohol. It took mobile users half-a-second longer to react than normal, and one-third of a second longer than when they had been drinking. They were also less able to maintain a constant speed and found it harder to keep a safe distance from the car in front. Direct Line insurance, which commissioned the research, said that 4 out of 10 drivers admit to using a mobile phone when driving. "We were surprised to discover that talking on a mobile phone is actually more dangerous than being drunk behind the wheel," said Dominic Burch, road safety campaign manager at Direct Line. "In effect, this means that 10 million drivers are partaking in a driving activity that is potentially more dangerous than being drunk." Tests showed that hands-free mobile phones were also a considerable distraction, Burch added. Direct Line said it would support Member of Parliament Janet Anderson, who is campaigning to make it an offence for motorists to use hand-held phones while driving. The second reading of her bill is due to take place on April 12. "Eventually," Burch added, "we would like to see the use of mobile phones when driving, both hand-held and hands-free, become as socially unacceptable as drink driving."

Psychopath Registered: Jan. 01	quote: The drivers high on cannabis during the testing tended to be impaired, but highly aware of their impaired state, with the end result being that they sometimes drove very cautiously to try and compensate. They also consistently rated themselves more blotted than the police officer that administered the sobriety test to them. Others who smoked the cannabis knew of their impairment but did not seem to be able to compensate for it. The only consistent effect of the marijuana was that all of the users had great difficulty in staying on task and focusing for more than brief periods of time. The study is certainly not advocating the use of cannabis and driving, but the results are certainly interestingly timed. I always felt I drove more cautiously when I toked, but the focus thing is true - I often miss exits and turns while getting into something on the radio or, on occasion, a phone call. But there's nothing better than cruising down the HIGHway with O&A. :cool: NORTON IS GOD

I couldn't believe this either when I first learned it during an insurance reduction course, especially due to the AP not being mentioned. :) quote: as you climb into the back seat to make yourself a sandwich LOL! What about being drunk, on PCP, sitting on a dildo, driving with your feet, while being auto-erotically asphyxiated from behind while being "Prince Alberted" for the sixth time from the side. Or what Dennis Rodman calls Saturday night. "It's only after we've lost everything that we're free to do anything."

Psychopath Registered: Jan. 02	Did it say anything about how road head impaired driving? â€œThe window burns to light the way back home. A light that warms no matter where they've gone. They're off to find the hero of the day. But what if they should fall by someone's wicked way. Still the window burns. Time so slowly turns. And someone there is sighing. Keepers of the flames. Do ya feel your name? Can't you hear your babies crying? Mama they try and break me. Still they try and break me. 'Scuze me while I tend to how I feel. These things return to me that still seem real. Now deservingly this easy chair. But the rocking stopped by wheels of despair. Don't want your aid. But the first I've make. For years can't hold or feel. No, I'm not all me. So please excuse me. While I tend to how I feel. But now the dreams and waking screams. That ever last the night. So build the wall, behind the crawl. And hide until it's light. So can you hear your babies cryin' now? Still the window burns. Time so slowly turns. And someone there is sighing. Keepers of the flames. Do ya feel your name? Can't you hear your babies crying?â€ - Metallica "Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty." - John F.
