Personally I think this idiot got off lightly. She actually believes there are times when it's safe to text whilst driving. She's clearly got st for brains!

Before the ban millions of people were capable of using a phone and texting while driving quite safely. Admittedly there will alway be people who find even the basics of driving AND DOING NOTHING ELSE complex and are consequently no good at it but it continues to irk me that this law is another "lowest common denominator" law.

I agree. Text-ing is just as bad, if not worse, than dialing out.

If the woman who was killed was your partner or child, would you still think that?

bks. Talking is one thing, texting another entirely. There is absolutely no defence, ever, for texting at the wheel.

I still don't think a decent case was made for talking on a mobile phone whilst driving, but texting whilst driving offenders should be shot. I don't believe you can text blind with any accuracy and drive a car competently at the some time.

Don't forget the little kittens

When you do bad things one of them gets made into kitty tea.

yes I've had someone say that to me when selling advertising, loosely veiled as charitable donations, over the phone.

Wasn't intended to be funny. More a damnation of the cretinous, emotive, heart-string pulling crap that people tend to spout that instantly demotes their opinion to that of a rancid skunk.

To whit : "If the woman who was killed was your partner or child, would you still think that?" Moronic.

Apologises, it's a comment I frequently make when I fail to understand the situation. One of the negatives of being 22yo. biggrin
