Michael, if indeed "More often than not, it’s some “Progressive” wanting to take guns away, they would be gone. That is obviously not the case. There are plenty of Progressives/Liberals who support guns for self defense.

I saw a woman sitting at a redlight talking on her cell phone, with her car sticking about 10 feet INTO the intersection. Cross traffic had to swerve a bit to get past her. She was totally oblivious to the problem she was creating.

The best part was her bumper sticker that said, “We Have Enough Youth…How About A Fountain Of Smart?”

Bluetooths, cell phones , radios, shaving, applying make up, anything that takes your attention from the road is dangerous. Yeah, you can get away with it for awhile but it will eventually catch up to you.

Who want sto take guns away, Sandi? More often than not, it’s some “Progressive”…not a Conservative.

So, yes, it’s appropriate to use a broad brush in this instance.

Naturally, you won’t see it that way, but that’s what makes this such a great country…while it lasts.

Well George, I don’t doubt that at all, but what they think they can do safely and what can actually be done safely might be two very different things. I am not “gifted” with good eye-hand coordination, spatial ability, 20/20 vision, or lightning-fast reflexes, (but I do claim common sense, even if others disagree!). I can, however, recognize that others are so gifted. Not having them makes me notice.

“All of these things, even texting if truth be told, can be done safely by some people and not by others, that is just a fact of good eye hand coordination, spatial ability and common sense.”

Last time I checked, everyone on the road thought their driving skills were just fine… not to mention being distraction-free, having 20/20 vision, lightning-fast reflexes and a 5 gallon bucket full of common sense, to boot.

C’Mon, listen to yourself…

I agree with Sandi. I have seen people putting on make up, shaving, combing hair, a little of everything. If this law is passed it should apply to anyone doing anything that distracts them while driving.
