I think we should just write an article that says, "Humans. Stupid Beyond Belief." I think that would sum us up nicely.

I mean look. One poster on here couldn't wait to blame the article on the leftists. His article would probably be titled, "Safety and knowledge. Not that big of a deal."

I just wouldn't let this article get posted in bars.

I find it particularly hard to eat lobster while driving a stickshift vehicle on a rush-hour freeway, so I just stick with Cheez-Wiz, the aerosol food approved by the AAA.

Hi Van,

You wrote: "Your article is written to the effect that it would more likely caused by a guy downing a drive through meal. At what point do we all shout "leftist lies!"

And

"In the near future an alarm will go off when something enters the "safe zone" in front of us, telling us to back off and recover the safe zone to stop the bell. Far more useful than making it a crime to eat a big mac!"

My friend, you are entitled to say what you want within reason, but please understand I am not a leftist, nor is the slant of this write-up.

I thought the study has an interesting finding, and was reporting on what the researchers said, and no where do I go beyond and advocate legislation to control any new findings.

On the contrary,

I wrote:

"Common sense dictates that drivers can compound their chances for an accident if they do not self-govern and recognize their limits."

And

"In fact also, different people have different levels of skills, psychological temperaments, tolerances, and in short, what one person may get away with, could be deadly for another."

And

"Bottom line is be safe, and stay in control. Try to recognize what will distract you and as a word to the wise: don’t do it."

If you will read a little more closely, I am advocating freedoms, and allowing for the reality that individuals vary, and not saying let's shackle them all with a uniform new law.

I dare say, this article is leftist-lie free. :)

Thanks for reading!

Talk about twaddle! Slowed reaction time does not even begin to address the hazard of driving under the influence. Our judgment is also impaired. Recall the drunk drive who "t" boned the car killing four. Your article is written to the effect that it would more likely caused by a guy downing a drive through meal. At what point do we all shout "leftist lies!"

The problems are we drive too fast for the conditions, i.e beyond our vision in fog, resulting in 30 car and truck pileups, we do not maintain sufficient space in front of us to allow side traffic to merge, and we take our eyes off the road to look at our navigation, cell phone, food, or an accident.

In the near future an alarm will go off when something enters the "safe zone" in front of us, telling us to back off and recover the safe zone to stop the bell. Far more useful than making it a crime to eat a big mac!

I'm sure that when the first radio went into a car, it was a big deal as a source of distraction. Especially those old ones where you have to turn a dial to find a station instead of just pushing a button.

Even talking to someone in the next seat can be just as much as a distraction.

Just be smart.

For an idiot who has to take their eyes off the road to eat, it is possible that eating could be worse than texting. For the rest of us, no way.
