I am declaring War on all those who talk, text or otherwise use cellphones while they are driving.  I have done it, talk that is, but I will never do it again.  When I get in a vehicle, if I am driving, the phone is turned off, they do have a switch!  Last Thursday I drove my little S10 Chevy truck from the Boro to Ft. Polk, La, a distance of close to 700 miles to pick up my oldest grandson, Matt, who is a medic in the army.  He will be getting out in May or June and he wanted to surprise his Mother one last time with a visit home!  He picked this weekend for obvious reasons.  I did not pay much attention to weather reports and after I crossed the Mississippi river I found myself driving into the teeth of a snowstorm!  I gave up in Alexandria, La & grabbed a motel room with ice & snow covering the streets.  Next morning it had turned to rain and I was able to pick Matt up with no problems.  As we started east the weather turned on us again!  The snow got deeper but the roads remained fairly clear.  As evening fell and the temps dropped we began encountering "black" ice on bridges, talk about "pucker factor".  The little truck did well and we were able to continue.  Somewhere east of Jackson, Mississiippi, on I 20 I came up on an 18 wheeler who was going even slower than us (about 50/55, except on bridges!).  I began to pass and I was about mid-way of the trailer when he began to move into my lane.  Now the horn on my little truck is not very loud and he continued to drift, I was into the ice & snow on the left shoulder before I got his attention!  As we passed his cab both Matt & I made eye contact with the driver and discovered the sob was driving with his elbows in the wheel and texting on a damn phone!  Neither of us gave him a "one finger" salute, as bad as we wanted to, it would have only made a bad situation worse. We made it to my daughter's home in the iced-in metro area of Atlanta (Villa Rica, Ga.) at about 1:30 in the morning.  Needless to say my grandson's plans to surprise his Mother worked to perfection!  Fast forward to yesterday afternoon and I-75 just north of Cartersville, Ga.  I was cruising north & missing Matt when I came upon a car driving at a very slow pace & all over 2 or the 3 lanes!  Yep, you guessed it, a driver yakking on a cell phone.  I saw 2 more, neither as out of control as the first, before I made it home to the Boro. Thank you for reading my rant & I hope you join me in this war! Gene PS: This post is not to start an argument, I am simply expressing my opinion and the reasons for my opinion.

I do use my cell phone when driving but not in traffic or bad weather and usually because I really have to but it seems like the rest of the world has no limits. On monday I went up to David's early in the morning and the traffic was surging between 70mph and 0mph. I was in Melody's car which is a little geo over my 4x4 ranger so I took it easy as I watched car after car not paying attention go left and right off the road. I bet by the time I got up to Davids I had seen 20 cars fly off the road. The good thing is several states are cracking down on phones and driving so maybe something will change but still there are idiots out there being idiots. If I could get a hands free unit things would probably be better but I bet I don't talk on the phone 200 minutes a month so it wouldn't be worth it. 1979 CX500 Supertanker ATGATT makes riding a bike like a sled easier.

I can´t for the life of me understand why it is allowed at all. Several countries have laws against it - mine hasn´t. I see them every day - car drivers with their cell phones in full swing. They are all over the place with their cars - in roundabouts, crossings and on open roads. Yesterday I saw one in the middle of a crossing - stopped - obviously asking someone in the phone about which direction to take. My heart doesn´t need situations like that one!!

Put another way, I don't need them to know what's going on.  I'm perfectly happy to ignore them while I handle whatever situation arises. I like to think that irregardless of what anyone is doing behind the wheel, they dedicate 100% attention to any situation that pops up.   And quite honestly, if you can't keep track of a MINIMUM of 10 seconds ahead of you while driving, you have NO BUSINESS BEHIND THE WHEEL of a 1 ton object hurtling 60+ mph.

While many people seem to handle driving and talking on the cell phone just fine without incident, it seems like just as many don't.  They become totally immersed in the phone conversation and completely "zone out" of driving.  I don't know why this doesn't seem to happen with passengers in the same vehicle. Anyone who spends significant time driving in traffic sees it all the time.  Just this morning on the commute in to work, a woman in front of me was drifting back and forth across two lanes of traffic with her left turn signal on for many miles.  She was going significantly slower than surrounding vehicles.  You guessed it, she had a phone glued to her ear and a dazed, far-off look in her eyes.  My Web Site 1982 GL500 1983 GL650    Report

I used to defend people who used cell phones with hands free systems... after all, what was the difference with speaking to them and speaking to a passenger?  Recently, however, I read something that made me rethink the situation: When you are talking to a passenger and something happens that should draw your immediate attention, it will draw the attention of your passenger as well.  The conversation sort of fades until the situation passes.  With a cell phone, it's different.  The person on the other end of the line doesn't know the guy in front of you suddenly slammed on his brakes, so he keeps on talking... which divides your attention. So while I still use bluetooth in the car and on the bike occasionally, it's not the ideal situation.  Ideal involves pulling off the road to have your phone conversation.

Only divides your attention if you don't know how to focus.  ;)   I know it's just an example, but even if the guy in front of you slams on his brakes, you've left plenty of room to stop, right?  RIGHT? IMHO, the majority of accidents involving a cell phone are not JUST the cell phone's fault - the driver is inattentive, with a serious lack of situational awareness. Just assume everyone else on the road will do the stupidest possible thing at any given moment, and 9/10 times (at least here in Florida) you'll be psychic. 1978 CX500 motor + 1980 CX500C frame    Report

Well in defense of the cell phone I have moved more than enough in the last 10 years that keeping a land line with all the set up fees and monthly fees. When I got my cell phone it cost $15 for all the minutes I needed and my landline was $50. Since then the nuts of cell phone vs land line has gone nuts with text messaging, video messaging, and internet. My cellphone somehow is still cheaper than when I paid for my last land line. But they have their use so if you don't want to be bothered put them on silent and leave them at home or take them with you and let it vibrate your pocket away. 1979 CX500 Supertanker ATGATT makes riding a bike like a sled easier.

It is pretty well established that young people ( up to the age of 25 years ) do not have the "judgment" portion of their brains fully developed. Hence, insurance rates are typically more expensive for young people and do not typically make a significant decline until after the age of 25. Also, we live in a period when the jargon "MULTI-TASKING" is commonly used in social circles and in business. This is a bogus concept. It is scientifically impossible for the human brain to multi-task. All thought is accomplished in SERIAL fashion. That is, one-decision-after-the-other. I have had passengers in my car talk to me, and as I got into the conversation I found myself missing turns to our destination, and less focused on the highway action surrounding us. I do not listen to the radio, to CD's, or talk on the cell phone nor invite conversation while driving either a car or a motorcycle. Humans have the capacity to perform many practiced physical motions, but they must have already anticipated what they are going to do and then have thoughtfully impressed such motions in their brains. Hence, a bicyclist can pedal, shift gears and tap the hand brake simultaneously, or an aircraft pilot can manipulate multiple controls in an emergency. When we drive on the highway we need to focus on what is happening ahead, plus the side of the road, and even what is coming from behind. In each case we must continually "cycle" our attention from one direction to the other and allow a safety margin for our reactions to possible danger. When that safety margin is erroded we are that much closer to disaster. I believe ALL states need to acknowledge that cell phones are a distraction from, otherwise, safe driving . . . and that gives the benefit of the doubt to the NUT-case in the lane next to you. 101 Winger GL650 (for sale ) GL650I (not for sale)    Report
