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.

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 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 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!

You've made that part crystal clear. What your failing to make clear is why. Just because your not doing anything wrong isn't a good reason for people not to see it. If anything its a good reason for people TO see it.

But if there's nothing to see, why are people so paranoid about others seeing it?

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 damn good.

I don't think you should be doing anything that you don't want others to see.  :sunglasses:

I'm not, and that's not the point. The point is its not necessary for people to see what im doing. It's nothing that everyone else doesn't do, so what's there to see?

If there's nothing to see, why hide it?

Their talking about passing a law like that here in Maryland. I think its a great idea. I can't tell you how many near misses I've seen due to someone talking on the phone while trying to drive.

I'd like to add for the record that I'd prefer people not be hidden. I am not very fond of that option, and have never been able to understand why people want to be hidden.

I'm stumped. I've watched the video from start to finish twice and can't figure it out. Is it an obvious thing, or something that's going to take some hard looking to spot?
