The whole, "riding on the road is crazy" is just giving in to bad car drivers.

What is crazy is that 6000 pound steel sleds are being considered like living room couches, with people eating, text messaging, listening to music, watching DVDs...this stuff is all legal, yet speed is supposed to kill.

If I had it my way, I would even ban automatic transmissions. You can't eat and talk on a phone while driving a stick.
