Again. I'm sorry I offended any seniors.

Careful, you may get to be one of us some day.



Only if he's lucky.

anyone on a cell phone is a bad driver. most of them are young women,
in my experience. I'd love to see laws passed in every state in the
union that would make it a crime to use a cell phone in a vehicle with
the engine running. Even if it's a hands-free model. I use a cell
phone while driving and find it a distraction. I'd be more than happy
to give up the privilege if it meant getting 100 million other
distracted drivers off of theirs.

The only one I can control is me. If you find the cell phone
distracting, let the call roll to voicemail, have a passenger take the
call, or pull over safely. I think that what I do behind the wheel is
the major factor in the safety of my trip, regardless of the driving
habits of the others around me.

As to influencing the behavior of young women, that's an area in which I
have very little track record of success...
