The sad thing is they are probably talking to each other. Our generation and the next are slowly losing the ability to carry on a normal conversation. |

I had a friend who has one of those network blockers, its fun to drive down the road and if there is someone talking on the phone, pull up behind them or beside them and hit it. They look at thier phone for the longest time, can't figure out why the call was dropped. Also fun to do in a bar.

People now-a-days seem to live entire parts of their social lives on their phones, seems silly to me. I'll see groups of 16-20+y/o girls "hanging out", in reality their not even saying anything to each other, just pecking away at their phones. Dumb. |

I had some idiot almost sideswipe me last night. Blew my horn and swerved.
When I looked over, he had the doofus panic look on his face and his glowing phone in his hand. I really wish people would stop doing it, I accept no one's excuse or argument that it is not an unsafe distraction and outright negligent. Every day, every fucking day, I see someone distracted by their phone do something dangerous on the road. |

Texting happens in short bursts. A signal blocker really wouldn't do shit to stop someone form actually typing out a message it would just prevent it from going through while in the area. Probably will cause even more distraction when someone tried to resend the message over and over. What it will do is caused dropped calls or calls to not go through as well. Hopefully one of those calls isn't a 911 or other emergency. Otherwise you just put someone else's life in danger by thinking you are actually doing something to protect yourself. Critical thinking. Try it. ETA - enjoy your FCC fine if you are ever caught with one as well. |

Twice this week, motherfuckers are driving down the interstate, all over the road, traveling about 45 mph. Going to get someone killed. It's not that FUCKING important. If you can't help yourself and absolutely have to text, pull off the fucking road to do it. In both cases I pulled up beside them and honked. Then made the gesture of hanging up the goddamn phone. One was a male, the other the female and both about 20 yrs old. Wish a guy could RPG their ass. Keep them from killing someone else. Yes I hate people who drink and drive too. And like drunks, people who text and drive think they can do it safely. WRONG! DON'T FUCKING DO IT. I could give a shit less if you run off the fucking road and kill youself, just have some respect for the other people using the same road. Rant off. Iowa just passed the no texting law-we are all supposed to be safer now (or so they said).
But I have also seen some stupid shit-changing cd's,yelling at kids in the back seat (pulled her out of a ditch),looking at a map (also ditch/telephone pole),eating,etc... |

On the motorcycle, a short application of the "Kill" switch without disengaging the clutch pumps the exhaust full of fuel mix. Snap it back to "Run", and *BANG*, instant backfire. Little hard on the valves, but scares the fuck out of inattentive drivers. |

"I hate people doing stupid shit while they drive, so I do stupid shit back at them." That seems to be the theme here. Let's counter texting and driving (a ticket and small fine) with an illegal signal scrambler (an FCC fine that could start at $11K and get worse from there). Common sense. It is not found in these parts...... |

Also, illegal in VA too As it should be. No one, I mean no one, can focus on driving safely while texting. Unless you can do it one handed without looking away from the road, and I doubt that sincerely since you have to read to be able to converse. |

I like the people who merge on the freeway at 10 mph below the speed limit then continue merging until they are in the lane of their choice and have just cut off about 10 cars.
They when you pull past them they are talking or texting on their cell phone and still haven't seen you there.
