meh who cares, people drive like shit anyway. if it was up to me driving licenses would be much harder to get than they are, and you would be required to take a driving test every time you renew. I don't know how many elderly people I see causing accidents. I think if I remember right elderly people cause more accidents than the younger people do

I dont know what the statistics are but it just seems like young girls get into alot of wreck just because they arent paying attention.

Girls wreck from not paying attention. Guys wreck because we like to drive too fast.

you havn't seen all the car crashes in the entire country though, elderly people are more dangerous. they pull out with out noticing people, drive well under the speed limit, can't hear other cars. and have slower reflexes

Id agree with the first part of this....but I think its about equal (teenager accidents vs. elderly). my sis was texting one day with me in the passenger seat and almost went off the road.

wasnt this the main topic in that movie "seven pounds" with will smith? he got in a wreck and killed his wife cuz he was on his blackberry.

It almost gets comical on the way I used to go to work. saw people doing makeup, reading the paper, on there laptops....its actually more amazing to me that there arent alot more accidents...

I wish this wasn't as true as it is. It makes me feel like a douche every time i say it.

i resolve to be a nicer moderator.
