Here is the comment in

"Considering that most "drivers" are busy texting, sexting, blogging,
twittering, chatting, updating Fecesbook or applying makeup, maybe
this
is actually a good idea."http://groups.google.com/group/alt.home.repair/msg/b4f39550fc9e2fdf?h...

The statement as written is an exageration, but I got their point and
I don't think substituting "too many" changes the essential point.

It isn't exaggeration.

Well then I'm gonna have to join krw on this one. *What
specific evidence do you have that the majority of drivers
are busy texting, sexting, blogging, twittering, chatting,
updating Fecesbook or applying makeup?

You're going to jump on the "driver distractions are limited to these
6" bandwagon...?

Sure
every driver has been distracted by something at some
point. *But that isn't what that statement says. *It says that
if we went out there right now we'd find that 51%+ of
those driving are engaged in those activities. *I'll even
allow the leeway of just being distracted period.

That's kind.

*And I
say if the majority of drivers on the road this minute
were distracted there would be wrecks all over the place.

That's because you want to make no distinction of level or duration of
distractions.

So, link please?

Try it from the other side: What is there to suggest the vast majority
of motorists aren't distracted...?
