This page is devoted to discussions regarding specific in-vehicle technologies: cell phones, navigation systems, night vision systems, wireless Internet, and information and entertainment systems, among others. The purpose is to provide an avenue for drivers to share their experiences with, and impressions of these technologies so that benefits of these systems can be realized without causing unsafe driver distraction. Although specific in-vehicle devices are emphasized here, comment and discussion relevant to other non-technological or conventional sources of distraction are also welcome. Be sure to take or view results of our informal polls.
Please tell us about your experience with these technologies…

Driver use is the problem, not passenger use 7/25/00 2:16:35 PM

Refering to: RE: Outlaw this dangerous distraction
Charles, Nobody cares if a passenger checks their e-mail, combs their hair, brushes their teeth, or nukes dinner in a microwave oven. If the driver does these things, obviously THAT is where the problem is and it absolutely must be outlawed. That's right- made illegal, just like many activities that are dangerous or are not in the interest of public safety are illegal. This is the responsibility of government- to enact laws that protect the average citizen, like you and me- even if we don't like it. Without law, we would have people who think it's OK for anybody to do anything. You mentioned reckless drivers. Yes, they are bad enough to have on the road. Let me ask you a question. Who would you want to have tailgating you at 60 MPH in the left lane while you are boxed in in heavy traffic, a reckless driver or a reckless driver who is also reading their e-mail (or talking on a cell phone, or sending a FAX?) Are you getting the point?
