Laptop useage

hahahahahahaha
That part about, "Hey, I was in cyber-heaven with a hottie and I didn't see the bus-load of nuns...." Reminded me of something I read on the CNN website maybe four years ago, when DVD players in four wheelers started being the hot topic..... Some idiot, got pulled over for weeving. The police officer originally thought he was drunk or high. Much to the officers suprise..... The man was watching a Porno while driving! lmfao.

 

There was a Pro-Football jock in Mnpls/St Paul that wrecked while watching a porn movie as well, he only had one hand on the steering wheel, and the other on HIS "shifter".....LOL

 

There will be a new law soon enough now lol

 

In California the governor signed a new law into place starting in July 2008 to ban the use of cell phone texting and laptop use while driving....i see other states making the same law.

 

I am glad you learned something from it, however I wish you would have told your company and got a new trainer. That's just scary, now I might no why some of these drivers are acting drunk.

Anyhow: You could send your complaint to the Federal DOT and maybe if everyone does they can make a law regarding this. I would say the least they could do is charge you an extra charge if in an accident and found you was on the "internet" or fine you if found to be on the internet. I just feel it would be hard to prove just by driving down the road.

 

Just because your connected to the internet doesn't mean you are goofing off. I use my laptop for navigation with a GPS and Street Atlas, I'm also connected to the internet via an Air Card, with my email program running in the back round downloading while I drive down the road.

Did you know it is not illegal in arizona to play video games will driving!

 

The laws probably aren't in place because they don't think people are STUPID enough to do those things while driving. Guess they need to put in laws for stupid people, too, huh?

My hubby lost a job because he didn't "fit in" - meaning he didn't text and drive all the time like his trainer did. Or sleep while he drove like his trainer did. But they didn't care what he said. The trainer lied about his driving and they believed the "good ol' boy" trainer and that was that. Makes me sick. Texting and driving is NOT SAFE!!!
