If shaving, masturbation and having sex while driving are not illegal, he asks, then why is making a call so bad?

That is some crazy multi tasking but I'll take a pass on getting a ride from that German Judge. i don't care how hard its raining...I'm walking.

C...ca...can we really do that ?

OTOH, that BIG surprise can have a detrimental effect to all parties involved

The problem today isn't so much the distractions, they will always be there; it's the lack of consequence for the actions. We have become a liberal society today and the actions of people have mirrored that with everything from texting while driving to cheating on a spouse. It only matters wen someone gets caught or killed.

Iraq was never lost and Afghanistan was never quite the easy good war. Those in the media too often pile on and follow the polls rather than offer independent analysis. Campaign rhetoric and politics are one thing - the responsibility of governance is quite another.

Thank you for that...
I will be passing it along to my 15yo grand daughter, who has had her NC learner's permit approx. one month.

I've been her primary supervising driver, and forbid phone talk or text while moving... If she feels a need to yap or mash buttons, we pull off the motorway. I constantly try to reinforce that driving is SERIOUS BUSINESS, and that she is responsible for doing her part to make it safer. (I am used to the "look" by now...)

Funny stuff: Day Two of her driving, Grandpa has her headed to F'ville,,, 211 S to Raeford, 401N to Skibo, to Yadkin (for some UDT shorts, now that I can wear them again ) on a Monday @ lunchtime. She did well enough, no paint traded with anyone & only got a little freaked out once.

I've got approx 11 months left to ride herd, (unless she gets a citation - which resets the clock) then she's on her own. PSA for the Moore Co. folks: watch out for a midget-chick in a white Corolla, with the ashen-faced middle-aged bald guy in the P-seat grabbing for the Jesus bar.
