[MissoulaGov] Fwd: Committee Update 3-11-09

[Paradigm1 at aol.com]

Using that logic, Missoula may as well ban cars all together, since  plenty 
of people are killed and "cracked up" by others NOT using cell phones ...  I 
think the point... again.. is that distracted driving is a serious offense,  and 
is already illegal. Cell phones are one of many distractions  currently 
afflicting drivers. I am just wondering what else should be banned in  Missoula...? 
CB radio operation in a vehicle... is that less dangerous somehow  ?... lets 
not just pick on cell phone users.
 
For the record... I ride a motorcycle, and will no doubt  be cracked up by a 
cell phone user for even commenting on this ! I guess I just  get annoyed by 
the steady trickle of rules, which prevent 99% of the people from  doing what 
they want, because 1% can't handle the freedom.

Yes and a traffic ticket, as David suggests, would go a long way  toward
helping out the motorist or cyclist cracked up or killed in an  accident 
caused
by a cell phone distraction, how very true that  is.
