Re: Driving nowadays…
After decades of drunk driving being treated with more stiff penalties than many murders, it is time they got the damned cell phones and texters off the road. Use the same penalties and techniques as drunk drivers I say. If it really was all about safety, as they claim. And not just a cushy meal tic...

Re: And for my next stoopid money-losing project...
