Subject: RE: KKMSO
I don't think "but I talk on the phone 2,000 minutes a month while driving" is a viable justification for permitting it.
As I said in my previous comment, this is not about YOUR rights but MINE. It is MY RIGHT to safe passage on the roadways. When you are jabbing about who cares what on the phone and you're not paying attention (and you're not as study after study has shown) you are violating my rights.
Helmet and seatbelt laws are Nanny State laws meant to keep you from hurting yourself. While this is an honorable intent, a law preventing you from violating your own rights is a lot different in my mind than one that prevents you from violating mine.
