Hooray for the cellphone law!

[Shadly1]

I'm frustrated, FRUSTRATED I TELL YOU! I personally can drive with a cell phone, but I don't. I even have one of those Bluetooth gizmos(a really good one) but I don't use it. I would rather focus on what I'm doing than who I'm talking to on the phone.

Here are some tips for just about everyone I came into contact with on the road today...

Hold the phone with your right hand so you can signal and hold the steering wheel at the same time.

Even better...

1. Tell whoever your talking to to "hold on".
2. Set down the phone.
3. Mirror, signal, blindspot.
4. Change lanes.
5. Go back to multitasking when you shouldn't be.

I'm not sure if the chick in the Jetta realizes that I'm in a Jeep. I have tires that go up to your window sill. If you merge into my lane, chances are, I won't yield. It's safer for me to stay my course and let you bounce off me than for me to attempt to swerve out of your way. If you cause me to slam on my brakes for any reason, you will be greeted with 310 watts of singed retina in your rear view mirror. This is not road rage. This is me simply informing you of your error. Road rage would involve a 33x12.50 in your back window.

Typically, I'm not for any law restricting my right to do anything but I welcome this one. Fine these boneheads like crazy until they learn to drive without that damn phone attached to their ear! I want to see people lose their licenses because they don't drive very well. This seems right to me.

Hey Shad,

You don't have to hold back, tell us how you REALLY feel about cell phones! Ha Ha Ha

I hear you bro . . . you think it's bad when you're in a Jeep . . . try being on a motorcycle in morning traffic on the 101 with soccer mom's in BMWs and Mercedes trying to kill you . . . Cell in one hand . . . Starbucks in the other . . . all while doing make up in the rear view mirror . . . and don't forget about little Johnny in the car seat. I like your 310 watts in the rear view idea. I personally like to get right next to the driverside window . . . wait for them to sick that eyeliner or lipstick right up to their face and then I rap the pipes on my Harley and watch them jump I've contemplated several times taking my steeltoed boot to the side of the car after almost being run down, but then I'd probably be off to jail.

Cell phones, ok, so how about eating, drinking, changing the radio. Pretty soon we will have to have both hands on the wheel at all times and cannot hold a conversation with any one. It really comes down to common sense, obviously most don't show any.

i'm all for the cell phone law, seems most people can't drive even without them anymore. use a handsfree!

and if you're in a jeep, can't hear anything while driving anyway so it won't even affect us!!
