since i hate headsets, yes I have always used the speakerphone on my phone while driving or pulled over to the side. I have personally been in a car that has almost been run into by an idiot on a phone not once, not twice but several times. They however do not realize that they almost hit someone and you probably are one such person. |
wow..talk about making assumptions based on your unsubstantiated dislike for my internet persona...
funny thing is, I have never judged you or called you any names...even though you like to rag on me regularly...
i'm sure you never speed either right? |

People who dictate their lifestyles onto others rarely appareciate it when the favour is returned.
Its like the person who is a social drinker who is against smoking etc etc... |

did you miss out on the word "probably"? which basically says "I could be wrong but this is an assumption I'm making" |

Because you were talking on your phone, period.
It's even more disturbing that you don't think you're less capable of driving effectively while on your phone. I freely admit to being less capable while on the phone, and I adjusted my driving habits accordingly (before the ban). |

You can find it as disturbing as you want. I will repeat once again, that it was legal to drive and talk on your cell phone for many years. Now that the government has created this legislation, it is somehow a horrible act? If it is horrible now, it was horrible back then, in which case..what a bunch of horrible people we all were...
I am a responsible adult and if my phone rings because I am on call, I am fully capable of picking up my phone, speaking into it for ten seconds and proceeding in a safe manner. I don't need the government to TEACH me to be accountable. Cell phone users are the LEAST of your worries on the road.
So unless, you follow all the rules of the road perfectly...including never going over the speed limit..ALWAYS making a full stop at all stop signs..NEVER trying to rush through an amber to proceed forward or turn left, etc...please don't judge me..

| A kid near my house at a busy intersection was riding his bike across the street while texting and got hit by a car (going the speed limit). Of course it was the driver's fault :rolleyes: |

dont even get me started on this...
i could write a ing essay on this topic. How about not allowing 82yold GRANDMAS behind the wheel that would go 30 in a 60 but if they hit a person they won't notice it until completely run over and crush the person?

wheres the ing law on that, old people should not be allowed to drive once they hit the age of 75 at most, it's just ridiculous. How about toughening the driving exam rules. A degenerate can pass a driving test in this city, all you have to do is drive at the limit and you got your G2. Try getting your license in EU the same way..
Oh and let's lower the limit and let's ing make the crossing paths with a longer wait time so instead of 1h commute one way it turns into 1.5h commute a day just because jaywalkers and cyclists don't give a and will walk/ride anywhere and everywhere without abiding to the rules.
So what is next, lowering the highway limit to 80km/h because of the accidents? people already go 70km/h on the highway, when i drive 120 in the left lane i feel like i'm driving on a ing authobahn in germany flying by cars to the right of me, what the is going on in this city, seriously? |

with the neglect going on in toronto (failure to build new roads and transit and choking the life out of streets with bike lanes) they wont have to post lower speed limits. It wont be possible to go faster than a bike!!
............ and dont even get me started on the massive fail that will be "transit city" |
