They already apologized and said it wasnt intentional. However they did not say whether or not they were going to change the design. While I can understand the feelings towards the design, I also think we need to step back and look at it for what it really is and not what it may represent to some. I think our country has become way to entangled with trying to control and make everything politically correct which has actually resulted in more of a divide amongst the population.

Not what his woman said.

There are occasions where I gets an over-the-road mouth hug from the missus. Certainly distracting, but what if that carries the same penalties as a DUI?! Like she needs another excuse to tell me no!

orly no more logic. men are talking.

Police can't keep up as is. There are still people driving with out insurance the laws help, some. But I still see people putting on make up and reading the paper when they drive. Police can pull you over if they feel you are driving reckless or impaired. Talking on the phone hands free or not is still a distraction. More laws are not the answer better education and enforcement might be the better way.

IMHO I think a texting law is pointless, will have no impact on bad drivers and opens the door a little wider for abuse of power by the government and law enforcement. Making people at least prove on paper they know the current laws of the road I think as a better chance or reminding people to think about what they are doing. Hell teaching a person to drive helps with that too (my son now calls out every thing I do that is in the gray area).

Taken from the comments section of the referenced news article: Person nailed it pretty much spot-on.

DUI laws? Yeah, right. Those work well. Maybe we should refrain from selling alcohol at gas stations. That would certainly cut down on the bums begging for gas money. Who knows if we would drink/drive less. As for laws against texting/phone use ... it's going to be irreverent. People will still get hurt badly. I'm just going to start riding on the sidewalk. F' the pedestrians and the law.

yep. studies show that someone texting and driving is MORE imparied than someone at the legal limit... so either the penalty for texting and driving should be 6 months, 1000 dollars and loss of license etc everything else you get with a DUI or a DUI should be 150 bucks, heres your ticket and you're on your way.

I sure as hell would want to know if my wife or little one are having to go to the hospital. It may not be a 911 emergency but I'm answering the phone. A call distracts you about as much as looking to see who it is, it's not like people drive with both hands anyway. You hit answer and it's at your head with your eyes forward, not seeing the issue. As for it being the same as a DUI, no way.

For the sake of argument and I haven't read much in this thread.... Just like no guns signs keep you from getting shot and OVI laws keep you from getting hit by a drunk driver?

So guilty until proven innocent? WTF? And the sent text thing goes right out window too, I can reply to a text with-out ever touching my phone or taking my eyes off the road..... I am not condoning texting while driving, however, I think the govt is too involved anyway... Sent from my iPhone using SIRI

6pt ticket, license suspension, huge fines, jail time.....for answering a phone call? really? whats next, felony charges for changing a radio station while driving? (for people without steering wheel controls)....there are plenty of things more distracting than answering a phone call, a DUI is from the second you get in the car to when you exit the car, very different than taking 30 seconds to answer a phone call.....and who is to judge if its an emergency? what if your wife calls you - you wont answer because its illegal, what if she needs help? or got injured or something? wouldnt you want to know right away....then if you answer to check, what if she is calling to ask what you want for dinner? you answered thinking it could be an emergency, when actually it isnt...now you deserve DUI type fines? theres way too much gray area in this law to enforce such strict penalties

are you bringing my fan club?

I'd rather just complain.

I've been practicing hunting and eating people for a while now so I'll be fine. My Soylent Green factory will ensure my continued dominance over the fleeting masses.

If they can power a huge chunk of metal for decades then why the fuck are we still filling up our gas tanks every week. It's a rhetorical question....stand down. First in line for Alien porn.
