Lockout Casualty Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Caught? You don't know where I was talking about or what timeframe I was talking about. You didn't ask for clarification, you must mock and insult. You don't want to actually discuss the issue, you're just trolling me. It's pathetic.

inane Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 If Christy was really taking a safety risk odds are the reporter in the car would have made a bigger deal of it rather than make it a footnote. As noted in many of these areas where volumes are low it would be better to change the signal timing to four way stop or yield control depending on the volumes. She was just acting as though someone already did. She did come to a complete stop and proceeded when it was safe, although technically illegal.

Wetcoaster Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 It never stops, he wasn't even part of the discussion but just entered to troll. Shame seeing as we were having a good discussion and it's gone totally off the rails because of it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wetcoaster Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Ok, you got the last word, you win. Good job. Care to talk about the issues? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inane Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 I have and in depth with information to back up my positions. As directed by the Board Rules I attack arguments, ideas and opinions ("Attacking an idea is acceptable") showing them to be poorly reasoned, unsupported and badly constructed. It seems I am much more effective at attacking an idea. And if in passing it demonstrates that the poster has used flawed logic and unsubstantiated hyperbole, such is life. BTW if you wish I can keep this debate up indefinitely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wetcoaster Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 I'll take that as a no. If you would like to discuss the issues, please feel free to start a conversation about this issue. If you can't do that without belittling, mocking or otherwise insulting the poster, don't bother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inane Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 You take it wrong. If you believe I am guilty of breaching the Board Rules then do what said Rules direct and report me for "belittling, mocking or otherwise insulting the poster". How has that worked for you in the past BTW? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gross-Misconduct Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 What's the difference between talking on the phone, talking on a hands free device and talking to your passenger. NOTHING, they're all distracting except with one you have only one hand on the wheel. YET, at the same time I can talk to my passenger while smoking, having had my arm amputated, eating, changing the radio and so on. Which are all legal. This is by far the most dumbest and inconsistent law I have ever heard of. Only oafs support it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wetcoaster Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 It's all about having both hands on the wheel. No one says you can't talk. That part musta went over your head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gross-Misconduct Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 And yet the distracted driver studies cited above do not bear that out. I suppose that part musta went over your head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wetcoaster Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Really? You have studies saying driving with one hand on the wheel is safer than driving with two hands? Can I see them? Read my post carefully before you respond. TIA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gross-Misconduct Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 I did read your post and you tried to connect something that has been disproved. According to the studies cited on distracted driving it makes no difference whether one is using a cell phone with one hand occupied or using a hands free solution.

Wetcoaster Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 So you have no studies showing driving with one hand is safer than driving with two? I stated that the idea behind the law is to keep people driving with two hands on the wheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gross-Misconduct Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 The studies say that using a handheld cell phone is not different than using a hands-free solution in terms of distraction. Unless drivers have three arms, that seems a reasonable inference that it makes no difference which was the point that Christy Clark was making that was the starting point for this debate.
