They did a test on 60 minutes or 20/20 can't remember. The drunks were far better than the distracted drivers

Think about it...you are drunk but focusing as best you can on the road trying not to get booked. When distracted, these people were tested using cell phones, changing radios, writing down simple notes, checking maps...not even looking at the possible collision.

They didn't even try and avoid, full speed crashes, certain death. At least the drunks put the brakes on or swerved out of the way.

My brother in-law was just killed by an unlicenced mexican peice of in Texas...on a cell phone. Totally avoidable.

sorry to hear about your brother in law man, my grandmother was killed about 4 years ago by a drunk driver who blew through a stop sign. avoidable, yes, but some people jsut have too good a time and dont know where to stop and cant use common sense and spend 20 or 30 bucks on a cab ride home or call for a ride.

they did the same test on top gear, drunk driver tired sober old young, i believe the tired guy did the worst

damn z-tuned... sorry to hear about your brother-in law.

the drunk driving vs. sober thing is probably true. i knew someone who would take a cd album (4 cd/per side one), put it on his lap and fully flip tthrough like 15 20 pages while driving. lets just say i didnt want to ride in that car...

The problem is nobody cares what the real issue is. Let me play the boys in blue for a minute and say that street racing IS the problem...What the hell does that have to do with my modified car?!?! Sure it's modified, but what about all these people in stock Cobalts, Civics, Mustangs, BMW's, etc. that are running into each other. The problem is irresponsible drivers, not modified cars.

Yeah thanks for the sympathy guys...it was just so stupid. Cellphone + speeding in contruction zone in an already unstable 4x2 Tundra. It has calmed me down on the roads a lot.

The problem is just bad judgement. I have done stupid things but I think if I ever got into an accident it would be poor decisions of others that caused it. I am a firm beleiver that speed doesn't kill, poor judgement does.

I troubles me to see how wack the depth perception of some drivers is too. And some don't even look around before they pull out. It happens to me every day at this intersection by my house...drivers expect traffic from the busy side but none from my side, so they don't even fuc'kin LOOK as they roll the stop sign.

I just step on it and go around them, horn/highbeams optional depending on my mood.

this thread is wicked...so many people trying to defend street racing. looking to drunk and preoccupied driver as a way to make themselves feel better. dont't worry, i'm sure these arguments will hold up in court when you dummy a family cause you wanted to look cool peeling out of palazzo.

Damn, the bans are getting shorter every time for you. Welcome back.

StealthZ

the bans are becomming more and more bullshit everytime...it only take 1 warning now even when i have no ****in points...good forum
some douchebag makes multiple threads with 10 words or less just so he can access the classified...and IM the one who gets banned. ya, i guess its like a sport for some of these mods. keep up the "good" work
oh, and this time it wasnt thread crapping...ive moved up to trolling

next time, whoever bans me, leave some comments in my ban. i would like some explanations for once. guess some people are just to click happy.

judgez24

if i could ban you i would and my reason would have been that gay color your name as before your ban, oh and thread crapping, lol.

were not defending racing around the city, those of us with a brain wont do it around the public

gldwngr

Those with a brain wouldn't do it at all.

Bill 203 - soon no brain will lead to no car, no license, and no money.

qaz393

bill 203 is gay. its just a bill still. hopefully it wont get passed by

gldwngr

The Liberals have a majority government so they have the voting strength needed to pass the Bill. There is nothing standing in the way of enacting Bill 203 except time for the requisite readings of the Bill. And with a majority government, that time won't be cut short by any non-confidence motion from the opposition parties.

judgez24

those with a brain wouldnt talk on their cell phone, drive drunk, drive tired, drive while getting head, if the gov had a brain they wouldnt allow advertising near hiways which causes a distraction. those with a brain wouldnt pay to get theri license illegally, you want me ot keep going?

gldwngr

Nobody is suggesting that street racing is the only brainless activity.

Supra90T

I believe your beloved liberals are more or less suggesting that by their response to it.
