Texting and driving
Who does it and why?
I do it because it saves me time by multitasking by talking to customers while I'm driving through traffic.
Can't believe states are going to make my business suffer because i can't text and call while driving because the politicians want to outlaw it.
Anyway, i just signed a petition to try and remove the ban:

A ban on the use of any hand held device while driving came into effect in Ontario on Monday. That includes texting, Phones, DVDs, computer use and non mounted GPS.
Hands free phone are legal. Exempt are 911 calls. Also exempt are cops, firemen and ambulance/paramedics.
Studies have shown that use of these devices increases the chance of an accident dramatically. Actually the studies have shown the use of hands free phones is almost as dangerous.
Since it came into effect in driving about 80k on lightly travelled 2 lane highways I have seen 2 people still on phones. Both were women.

anyone who texts while driving is a blooming idiot and should be removed from the road. End of story !! I have my life threaten from the fact some people try to work the radio let alone texting. Anyone who thinks they have the ability to operate complex devices while driving is only kidding themselves and where do I sign to permanently remove their drivers license!!!!

Reading and writing text while driving endanger your life and others. It's not good to talk on mobile while driving but in city drive of low speed I think you still can do it, as long as you can drive handy...

Did Jan Solans get 3 points for his 8th place at the end of saturday? Wikipedia and WRC site shows he didn't, eWRC shows he did.
