this fact struck me:

the use of a cell phone while driving can increase chances of an accident by 400 percent

That's an interesting statistic. I saw so many people talking on the cell phone and driving, actually scarry during construction zones... :sigh:

Yeah, that 400% stat is really believable. I know that I've tried it on a
few occasions in the city and its like your in a time warp or somthing.
For instance after I press the END button I'll try and recall things that
occured such as, man was that light I went through red or green.
Or what the hell, why is that guy flippin me the bird...
Is that a shot-gun pointed at my tires....
I couldn't imagine what the consequences would be if a person was
involved in a heated argument while driving.... Twisted Evil
It's to bizzare for me so I just don't do it anymore. Walking and chewing
gum is my limit for multi-tasking. Laughing

Idea Hey Jason.. for those long drives I took the liberty of finding you this cool
calculator so you'll never miss a beat while behind the wheel.

easy on that "over the counter stuff"....... Wink

LOL - that is a really good link RJ. Jason does drive long distances quite a bit...that'll come in useful Very Happy


The whole driving while having a conversation on a cell phone always baffles me. I can listen to the radio, have a conversation to someone in the car all while eating a burrito driving a standard transmission car with no problem...talking on the cell while driving, however, must require my whole brain...or at least a part of it im not used to using

Yup, I can agree with that for sure... Wink

Then again we can all get one of these and we wouldn't have to worry
about, cell phones, eating, transmisions, sleeping, radio's etc.

Guarenteed to keep you awake behind the wheel.
Just the sweet sound of HEMI under the hood... "Yeah Baby" Wink
Of course I'd take the Viper firstly but I have to shop for a family sedan.

Wow!
That is one Sweeet ride. Arrow Arrow Arrow Arrow Arrow

Guaran-assteed to keep your eyes wide open.

eerm... *cough* ahem...... ooOOh Jason..... Laughing
Me thinks Derek has found you a new car to keep your driving interest high.
Between the new ride and the special caffeine progam you'll be on, no way of
napping on the I-5 .... lol Wink

Man thats really amazing how the designers can recapture the essence of the
old Mustang slash Shelby Cobra and put in such a Boss package.
