Whatever happened to Kyle? Not the Canada one, but the other one.

i believe he's been working, plus school, plus life. doesn't really give enough space for computer time.

Let Al be the perfect example why cellphones should be banned from driving, and why Teens should not be allowed to drive.

ok first off...i do not drive...i repeat i do not drive.

secondly, i still stand my case about the evidence thing and the warrant issues. they're simply too many loop holes in these so called "laws". there is actually this really funny loop hole my friend chase found about getting around a parking ticket he got at school, though this isn't the proper place for this.

I'm sure your fellow Texans are relieved to know that you do not drive. 

yet...   . gettin' my license before senior year (this fall)

I certainly think that Al's views are definitley fairly representative of what most teenagers would tell you. However, there are some responsible teenagers out there. But you know how it often goes-the majority are punished because of the minority.

i agree.

I think that we should just sum it up by saying that Al's against responsibility in its entirety. 

i'm just pointing out the facts. you can say i'm against it.

i'm not. responsibility? i'm a teenager, we don't do that. well most of the time we don't.

any teenager that says otherwise is flat out lying.

I won't argue with that! Teenagers (and I know-I was one!) are the most irresponsible group of people there are! 

I just wanted to comment on something you said at TWCC. So you think that outlawing driving while texting is stupid too? Maybe you also support driving while blindfolded?

well see, you don't even need your eyes to text...i text with out looking at my phone. many teenagers can do it...and they do it while driving too.

at first obviously your not going to get every letter, but when you work with it during classes (when you're not suppose to text) its practice basically.

Well by all means, they should do whatever it takes. It IS legal for them to confiscate it if they have reason to believe your breaking the law. If you don't want your precious phone taken away, then do the smart thing and don't talk/text while driving.

again...THEY CAN'T. unless they have a warrant. it's part of your property.

Yes, but if your using it and breaking a law, they can. That's like if you shot someone, they can/will take your gun. Exact same thing.

again, where lies the evidence?

Most phones keep track of when calls are placed and/or received. You should check yours out, Surely it does too.

it can easily be deleted as well...

Not while your talking it can't!

as easily as it is to be pulled over and the time it takes for the officer to walk up to your car, that is plenty of time to get rid of the last call / text message AND put your phone away.

i'm not against it...so gil don't even start with me and seriousness.

The bottom line here Al is that many accidents can be avoided by paying a little more attention to the road and a little less to the phone. Maybe you'll change your outlook when someone you know gets killed by someone talking and driving. And don't think it can't happen, because the chances of it happening are darn good.

I'm not saying its a bad thing, i'm just saying it's not going to work.

it doesn't matter if the officer believed you were breaking the law. a warrant has to be issued to be allowed to go through your phone...meaning if it's confiscated, it's of the human nature to go through it.

again, here lies the problem...they can't take your phone away...they have to have hardcore evidence to give you that ticket...otherwise you can just fight and win in court.

a good law? yes?

is it gonna work? no.

I think it's a great idea. Unless it's an emergency, there's absolutely no reason why you should be on a phone while driving. And besides, it's dangerous. Your mind can't focus on two things at once. So, if you're talking on the cell phone while driving, you're main focus is NOT on the driving, and you run a higher risk of an accident.

Yes if its absolutely necessary, then they can pull over. There is NO EXCUSE WHATSOEVER to be talking/texting on a cell phone when driving.

gil, you'll understand how hard it can be to NOT talk/text on a phone while driving when you get a bit more of a social life. not to sound harsh, but you're not in HS yet, and don't drive.
