Default They finally found proof texting bans - does it make a difference

Nothing *highly unproven* about the FACT that texting while driving is
absolutely guaranteed to be harder to do than driving without texting at
all.


Look.


Nothing to look at except more of your mindless
silly stuff, bare faced lies and denial.

Eating a banana is harder to do while texting,
but you can still do it without slipping on the floor.


Driving a car in traffic is just a tad harder to do that
eating a banana and much more likely to produce
an accident that requires hospitalisation too.

Driving is so easy that almost every single person can do it.


And it is now the single biggest cause of death
for those between the ages of 15 and 70.

Driving while distracted is impossible NOT to do.


Even sillier than you usually manage.

Nobody has ever driven a single mile without some distraction.
There are literally thousands of distractions every mile you drive.


You handle them.


Texting is much harder to handle than any other distraction except
possibly the kids killing each other in the back of the car.

For most stupid people, they'd *think* cellphone are a *big* distraction.


Anyone with even half a clue knows that
texting while driving is a BIG distraction.

So, with *huge* increases in cellphone ownership, you'd
expect a correspondingly huge increase in cellphone use,


Not when hardly anyone is actually stupid enough to text while driving.

where you'd expect a correspondingly huge increase of distractions,
where you'd expect a correspondingly huge increase in the accident rate.


Not when hardly anyone is actually stupid enough to text while driving.

I would too.
It *sounds* logical.


But nobody on the planet can *find* these new accidents.


You're lying thru your teeth, again.

Not even this biased study can find them.


You're lying thru your teeth, again.

What does *that* tell you?


That you are a bare faced pathological liar.
