Stretch Posted August 13, 2013 Share Texting and driving documentary by German director Werner Herzog. A tad schamltzy but the message remains...In the US texting and driving deaths have now overtaken drunken and driving deaths..... yet the consequences are lesser http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_BqFkRwdFZ0 nathrix 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is getting out of control now seeing what i see on the roads now. Almost every second person has their phone in their hand. I have made a concerted effort to avoid all texts/whats apps etc while driving. As the message says - how important is it really johannrissik and 428 others 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassie Posted August 14, 2013 Share This is an absolute scurge!! I have to constantly / consientiously remind myself NOT TO GRAB the phone and quickly look at the message - especially since i'm in a lift club with several kids who chop & change their lifting requirements.... I have to agree to anextend...this "new" mobile phone trend is probably worse than driving with two beers under te belt!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stretch Posted September 25, 2013 Share New York has resorted to "text stops" to remind people to not text and drive but rather stop at a designated spot and do it. How many people do it is one thing...but at least they are being proactive http://editorial.designtaxi.com/news-nytextzones2509/1.jpeg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like it and I think it will work. Wonder if its in other states as well.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stretch Posted September 25, 2013 Share I like it because it's at least a reminder that you should not be doing it..just in New York at the moment I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ84 Posted June 10, 2014 Share it should be a simple application installed in cars,no phone can operate behind a steering wheel.A range frequency to block the signal and only calls come through on Bluetooth. Same as drinking and driving,a sensor can be put in place and does not allow the vehicle to start if it can pick up alcohol. Surely some IT geek can do these types of programs.

DJ84 Posted June 10, 2014 Share what about your pissed mate in the passenger seat Haha,It would obviously need a proximity sensor. Thinking along the lines of the Volvo that can sense when you are tired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
