Dude, you cant argue with statistics. Your point is invalid, click the links, im not making this shit up. Cellphones impair your judgment, just like being drunk impairs your judgment. You CANNOT tell me both.dui/cellphone drivers dont carry.the same.trait. Hmm both.swerve, both dont pay attention,.both turn without looking, both are very likely to cause accidents, even a 5 year old can see.this. Have you ever saw a cellphone driver but didnt see the phone till you passed them? You probably confused them for a drunk driver, I know I have. Ive drove.drunk.countless.times and never ever came close to a wreck(back in my teens) and I used to talk/text(in my teens) while driving and never came close to an accident. nOTE I USED to, not anymore. I was young and dumb. Just because some people can drive drunk/distracted doesnt mean everyone can, it only takes a split second and 1 mistake to wreck. People need.to devote 100% of their attention to the road. shit man, do you know how hard it is to text and walk? Or how hard it is to text and watch TV? Or text and have a convo with someone? Pretty fucking hard, same goes with talking on the phone. Now you imagine driving, but you cant pay attention to the things I mentioned while you arnt driving? How the hell can you expect to.do it while driving?

http://www.nsc.org/pages/nscestimates16millioncrashescausedbydriversusingcellphonesandtexting.aspx 28% of all reported accidents were caused by a cell phone... makes you wonder what % of near misses are caused by cell phones... My guess 75+% this is scary considering its LEGAL 35% of accidents are caused by dui drivers, more than cell phones, but not by much. Imagine what that number would be if it was LEGAL to drink and drive? Probably 80+%... See my point? http://www.edgarsnyder.com/drunk-driving/statistics.html You might as.well be driving.drunk.if your driving and using a cellphone. You cannot argue statistics... You just.cant, its impossible... Only a 7% difference between cellphone driver and a drunk driver, thats pretty fucking scary in my opinion.

Someone didn't pick up on the sarcasm Honestly though, I hate hearing about accidents or near misses that should have never happened. Im sure every single person on this forum has been put into a very uncomfortable position, yes.even you, due to a distracted.driver. And.im sure it happens to most of us pretty.often(atleast once a week or so) I dont know all your driving habits, you dont know all mine, but im sure we can all agree on some laws all of us break daily. 1) merge lane violation(not using a signal 100% of the time and/or going into the lane not nearest to you when turning) 2) speeding (1mph over is still speeding) 3) going faster than 35 in a school zone(doesnt matter what day of the week or what time it is or what the speed limit on the road is, most of us do the road limit when the sign is flashing, ive never ever seen anyone slow to 35....) Ask a cop if you dont believe me on this law, I personally didnt know about it till last year. These laws we typically break every time we get in a car/on a bike, but texting while driving is 1000000x more dangerous and its perfectly legal in Ohio... I think this is a load.of.horse.shit and something needs to be done about it.
-
We will see, btw im pretty sure phones will eventually be banned while driving in all states so obviously the government doesnt give a shit.if.you dont want another law.

ive never been pulled over for 10 over now have I? Nope... and until I do I will continue to pass cops at 10 mph over. and if thats invalidating my statement than no one on this forum is entitled to an opinion.... I obviously see the cop and choose not to slow down less than 10mph above the speed limit. So everytime someone here is driving they obey the law 100% of the time, even infront.of.cops..... Those of yall against seatbelts may not put it on when u see a cop, but.you sure as hell do.when your about to get pulled over. Whatever, ill stick to my opinions you stick to yours and we can agree to disagree. Hope you dont wreck while on your phone, even worse hope u dont kill someone. I would hate to see you get put away for driving distracted. I speed, you text, he drinks, she yells at the kids. Its all wrong, only difference is speeding is less likely to cause you to.kill someone.
-
you can argue that not everyone follows the law, which is true.... BUT for most part people pay more attention when breaking the law. Dont believe me? When you speed 15+mph are you gunna be looking for cops? Umm.... Yup Same applies for most other laws, but hey if they are breaking it they atleast pay more attention to the roads. Oh, also, most peoole would just go ahead and not use their phone, not all, but most.
-
Alright, hit me with a PM if it looks like a match. Im prob gunna crash soon. Im ready to throw this loud freezing cold bastard out the door.

I couldnt find the specs, but here are some pics.

35mph and over or double the speed limit, whichever is the lesser is what usually lands you a wreckless op. Although wreckless op doesnt have to pertain to just speed.... Btw my last speeding ticket was 3-4 years ago. I must be doing something right and im sure no one ever does 20+ over the speed limit besides me and im sure everyone slows down to the exact speed limit when they see a cop
-
I would pass em up, but I also break the law every time I hit the roads... Except on my bike(for now atleast) I was talking bout the legal/right way to do it. Not the logical/law breaking way to do it.... 1mph over.the speed limit is still breaking the law, some areas have speed traps. I usually blow by cops at 10mph over in the left lane without so much as a glance. All my tickets are 20mph+ over the limit.
-
Listed for 2 years and hasn't sold yet? Wow.
-
He will just say you should of slowed down instead of speed up. Guessing you never took drivers Ed I cant take the highway anyhow now, as of today they blocked 35 east to 75... I was pissed when they blocked off my exit home forcing me to take the backways home, now im forced to take the backways to work... Eta 9mo... If its anything like their last 9mo project it will take 3years to get it 1/2assed done...

Dayton here too, I can ride either on sat or sun during the summer depending which day I get off.
-
I was just sayin. I didnt disagree with ya, infact I posted something similar in a different forum. Im too lazy to search for it though. People are gunna continue to drive like tards though and ima continue to chase em down Similar to the rules thing, this is about laws though. http://www.ohioriders.net/showthread.php?t=91850&highlight=cell+phone I pretty much state that anything that can distract a person while driving should be illegal.

I love mine, bought it last summer and it runs like a champ. Sometimes ill even do my entire yard with it instead of busting out the mower best $300 ive ever spent. As far as warranty... Umm 3years? Maybe 5 years? Im not sure, havent had to use the warranty. If you know where it was purchased and/or have a receipt you can contact the store it came from, if not go to the main website and give em a call.
-
These arnt rules, they are your opinions. Btw did you know the left(passing lane) is there to PASS at the speed limit? Not above it. im assuming if your using it your going faster than the posted speed limit though, thus your breaking the law and the asshole next to you isnt

Ill have to look at ours when I get home. I have no clue what the volts are. It has 3 flat prongs I think I know nothing about AC units as my current one is the only one I have ever owned and I bought it from a neighbor for like $20.

Lol, obviously I cant get names correct... I failed there....

First off im not the grammar Nazi here, second off you obviously failed at being the grammar Nazi. I am revoking your correction privileges http://i.word.com/idictionary/than no comma needed http://i.word.com/idictionary/then comma needed, but you obviously missed that Also note that they are interchangeable one is just used as comparing Actually I have no clue wtf im talking about I just found the links and didnt bother reading em as long as YOU know what was meant, or what you think you thought was meant I could care less But ya, dont correct me unless you are 100000000% sure you have never made a mistake Mr grammEr king

Depends what one would consider childish, thats all opinion. A simple flick of the finger is 'childish'

The only time my road rage has effected others is when ive got out my car at a light(hazards are on atleast ) and they have had to go around me. I dont break check in traffic or cut off others/run lights to keep up pursuit.
