Should phoning and texting while driving be banned in BC? Quote:
Unless you're dying or the next call is from some babe offering a hot, sweaty, backbreaking night of sex calls and messages can wait. |
should be banned...people just dont get it |
it IS dangerous, once, i saw a lady slow to a complete stop at an INTERSECTION when the light was GREEN.. she wasnt slowing down to turn left or anything, she was goin straight. when i passed her i can see her holding her cellphone and looking at it. iiiidiot |
Should be banned... Will people stop doing it? No. The chances of actually being busted doing are pretty slim. |
hopefully it will be banned...its not necessary to be talking on the phone while driving. period. |
Yes, it should be banned but I think it should be common sense not to drive and text at the same time. |
No one will stop doing it anyways... Where there are people, people will text. |
I never got the point of texting? Wouldnt it be easier to just call? Why spend 2 minutes typing up a message and wait for a reply when u can call & get a response rite away |
I just heard on the news that someone died in a similar situation just yesterday? |
i agree texting should be banned. phoning, not so much considering you are looking at the road and have at least 1 hand on the wheel at all times, much like drinking a slurpee while driving. Unless you drive stick, then you need a car that has integrated bluetooth to pick up your calls. |
if you're texting while driving you might as well take a nap while driving you're not even looking at the road how can you know what's in front of/behind you |
I don't think it should be banned, it's like talk and drive at your own risk. some people are better multi-taskers than others, so they don't have to suffer too? |
^^ also putting other drivers at risk |
then it will obviously be your fault and you'll have to cover whatever you did |
Do you guys type on your computer keyboards while staring at the keyboard? Don't people know how to text without looking at their phone yet?......... It's pretty easy unless you have a stupid all-touch phone....... |

What i dont understand is that if i drive without my seatbelt, where i jeopordize my safety, i can get fined. If i txt or use my phone while driving, where i jeopordize the safety of others and myself, i am not doing anything wrong legally. I have brought the issue up with several politicians at various levels but they all point fingers at each other. Federal level politicians say it falls under provincial jurisdiction; while provincial blames federal. Its quite comedic. |

Texting is not just about sending a message, you also have to reply and that requires you to divert attention away from the road onto a tiny screen held by a shaky hand and interpreting the message. |

I understand how some people can be stupid enough to not know how to text without looking at their phone. I understand that other people can be dumb enough to not be able to take their attention off the road for a mere second at a red light to read the message sent to them. I personally can do it quite easily...and I'm sure others can too. However, that said, I completely understand why they would ban it because the majority of people, for some reason, probably aren't capable. |
