Bad324 Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 (edited) Only made me think too many people shouldn't have drivers licenses in the first place Edited January 8, 2014 by Bad324 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonik Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 ... pay extra attention if you have some kid in your car.... So pay less attention if you don't have kids in the car? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smccrory Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 So pay less attention if you don't have kids in the car? Kids in a car, unless they're asleep, can be distracting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magley64 Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 So pay less attention if you don't have kids in the car? yep or at least if you're not paying extra attention, don't expect someone else to look out for your child if you're not willing to.

Tonik Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 Makes no sense. You should pay max attention all the time. Don't matter who is in the car. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you're reading magley's post too literally. I took it as exert more effort to pay attention when you have distractions in the car, and use the argument that you're carrying precious cargo to fuel the concentration if it helps.

magley64 Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 I can honestly say I do not pay maximum attention all the time. Sometimes I spread my attention to adjusting the radio, or taking a phone call, or having a snack... I 1 hand the wheel, jam out to a cool song, check out cars parked for sale along the road way, and sometimes i stick my foot out the window... I'm still paying attention, and maintain control of my vehicle, but not directing my full attention to the road, 100% of the time. Now when I have my one or all of my nieces and/or nephew in the car, I'm not inclined to suffer those distractions. I direct nearly my full attention to getting my nieces and/or nephew to their destination safely... I check and double check when pulling out into roadways, I have both hands on the wheel, i maintain speed within speed limits, and keep my eyes peeled for any situation that might impede my goal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent3012 Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 The presentation in that commercial confuses the point it's trying to make. It's part of an anti-speeding campaign that is trying to point out other drivers are going to make inattentive mistakes, but your speed can turn a minor accident (or even potential near-miss) into a life-threatening event for everyone.These commercials explain the same idea better, I think: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-rCf3ScrCA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
