"3. Drivers are becoming more inattentive.
Look at the vehicle choices and habits. John or Jane Q. Public with their oh-so-necessary 6,000-pound SUV with screaming kids, dogs, phones, DVD movies and God-knows-what-else in there to distract from the task of actually DRIVING and paying attention to what the hell is going on in front of them. The idiocy is staggering at times."
I've said it before. How can hand held phones be legal in most places when it takes the ability to use the turn signals while driving? One hand on the wheel - one hand on the phone. It's getting more and more common all the time. Not to mention the distraction it causes.
