Today my government is going through the process of banning cell phones while driving. A quick google search will show you that all over the world this is happening. My feelings on the subject is that yes, it should be banned but it won't work and here's why.. first of all police can barely crack down on drunk drivers, I know this is a fact because if they caught all the drunk drivers then there would not be a parking lot full of cars at a bar and when closing time comes around these cars would not leave. We've all seen it, those people you see drinking away at the bar and then hopping in their cars afterward, it's a sad fact but it's true. Another reason is, although not very strict laws in Canada, smoking marijuana is still a crime and I know that people smoke weed while driving all the time where I live. I could go on but I'm sure you get my point, if they can't catch those illegal things how are they going to catch every person on their phone especially when you can text out of sight. So although this seems like a good idea it is not going to change anything people are still going to do what they want and perhaps an unlucky few will get a ticket and learn a lesson but with 82% of the population having cell phones it is impossible to catch all those cell & driving users.Wednesday, September 2, 2009
