While driving I frequently see people texting and driving. I have started

No offense, but I'm glad you don't create public policy

We are years away from that. What was wrong with my idea?

ChiCityCoug

I can't support the part where the cell company restricts your phone use

SausageKing

11/14/19 2:23pm

Do you have any ideas on how to stop it? Higher fine? Stricter laws?

ChiCityCoug

11/14/19 2:24pm

I don't think you can really stop anyone from doing what they want.

I agree, fines are not the answer. Which is why the inability

this is a weird argument. we also can't stop drunk driving, but we sure try and

Do the fines and jail time stop people from driving drunk?

SausageKing

Sometimes. It also punishes those who break the law, which is also the point.

I often ask myself what the difference is between those who:

similar to DUI/DWI, by the way.

BertoChavez

11/14/19 2:21pm

Or murder and attempted murder. Why is any incomplete crime punished

Jay Rick

I actually agree with that. Attempted murder is a joke. Just means they

ChiCityCoug

11/14/19 2:35pm

Not sure I follow, are you saying #2 should be punished more in

ChiCityCoug

11/14/19 2:26pm

In a way, yes.

BertoChavez

11/14/19 2:29pm

So what would be your proposal? Anyone who is caught texting

ChiCityCoug

No. Though I'd consider permanent license revocation after the 2nd incident

Problem with taking someones license is, they can still drive.

ChiCityCoug

11/14/19 2:37pm

Jail time if caught with a suspended license. Even more jail time if it's

BertoChavez

11/14/19 2:38pm

In fact I'd even consider jail time after the first texting incident (few days)

BertoChavez

11/14/19 2:40pm

Maybe some ways to reduce the "sentence" or even reinstate the license:

Wait-getting cut off- Okay I think you’re wrong

I'm just glad you didn't mention AT&T as part of your plan.

Considering my family has been involved in 3 recent accidents due to texting I

Alright! I have one so far!

ChiCityCoug

11/14/19 2:23pm

Wouldn't it be easier to just get rid of the family? This would eliminate all

Baron

11/14/19 2:24pm

I would note that my family wasn't texting, the other drivers were.

mudpupper

11/14/19 2:27pm

It’s not illegal to text while stopped at a light.

11/14/19 2:25pm

I like to read novels while I drive.

Sorry, my idea would be tough to stop you from reading a book.

More overreach and surveillance state solutions that won't solve anything. Or
