Stupid laws!
Posted in The Prophet on June 18th, 2006 by MoleznevLast week, I asked my readers to help me with this survey. Results are, LTA banned phone usage due to: Driver lose concentration while they are on the phone (They don’t lose concentration when they use hands-free - yea right). Drivers have less controls over their steering wheels when they are on the phone with one hand and the steering wheel with the other.
This is nonsense. As Benji said, when you look for your hands-free its more dangerous than just picking it up and answering. About the losing concentration part, hey, taxi drivers are worse when they look to their whatever screen that is. Not only do they turn their heads, they use their hands to tap the screen! Is that worse than holding on to the phone and looking ahead?
Now to the one hand on the phone, one hand driving part. Who said that you can’t drive with one hand? So you mean to say handicaps with only a hand not allowed to drive? Rubbish right? Also manual car drivers also not allowed to drive right? One hand has to be on the gear knob which according to what this law is about is unsafe. If its that unsafe, how come these people are allowed to drive?
Conclusion is, scrap the rules.
Disclaimer: I’m not against handicaps or anyone else except these stupid laws.
