Lies, damn lies, and statistics. Most people (there are thickos like
you who can't) multitask well, as I just said, it's required to drive,

You're special,

No, I'm normal. People can multitask easily, that's a fact. If you
cannot, you're retarded and unlikely to have passed your driving test,
you couldn't control speed and direction and gears and watch for hazards
and use indicators and operate the wipers etc etc.

so you can multitask perfectly. And even be unaffected
by adding another task to the mix, this one requiring removing a hand
from driving duties and occasional looking away from driving :-D

So does changing gear.

Do you also believe you don't need to wear a seatbelt?

I never wear a seatbelt unless I'm driving fast in deep snow. The
chances of a bump big enough to need one are remote.

A helmet while biking?

Cycling or motorbiking?

A safety line while up high?

Depends how well I can hold onto things. Am I using lots of tools which
need a hand or two?

Heh. Of course not.

Invalid assumption.

It's only other
people who do not perform perfectly, have accidents, and have to have
society deal with the consequences. Stupid other people! Why can't they
be more like you?

Meanwhile back in reality... :-)

You're clearly a **** driver and are making yourself feel better by
claiming many others are the same. The fact remains the vast majority
of people never have anything more than a minor bump in their entire
life of driving.

Because most sensible people with common sense don't do stupid things
like texting at the wheel. Most accident occurs in a split second. It's
a case of learn and live or learn and die(or maimed) Visit an emergency
ward in your local hospital and look at the injured drivers coming in
due to accident. Most cause is human error or negligence(like not
wearing seat belt).
