WTF? I was driving and I saw this minivan ahead of me watching Mascadar.
How can that NOT distract the driver?
How stupid is that? |
yeah for real eh. I thought those things were only supposed to be in back seats, or operate when the vehicle was in park. |

i'm guess the ear/headphones are the problem.. cos you can still connect the mp3 player to the cd player in a car :) |
so you mean people are wearing headphones while driving?
That would explain a lot, cause that's just stupid. |

Any "child" would know what natural selection is "FUNKYBREWSTER"
Natural selection occurs when a group of mammals/ plants develop traits that allow them to survive physically as well as socially in an ever developing and changing environment.
Don't ever call me a child. |

| I didn't think CAA's suggestion was a big deal. I grew up in Montreal, and headphones on car drivers and bike riders have been illegal since the Sony Walkman came out in the early 80s. |

well I don't know about you but I totally disconnect from outside world when I'm listening to my music and especially in headphones
but we would need drivers, especially newbies, to be fully alert on roads |
