Paranoia IS fear, with the added nuance of you thinking this is somehow baseless or irrational.
On a tangent, I'd like to know what DOES constitute a good reason to base laws on in your opinion.

When you text, you need your hands and eyes on the phone, which means they aren't on the road, which means you are being a hazard to everyone else. Period.

I don't see what is the problem here, Bern.
Do you really believe they are invading your rights to freedom with this law?
They are trying to prevent accidents from happening.
Is your "right to text in your car" more important than someone else's life?
Or do you think this is all a big government conspiracy to prevent you from communicating with people?

I'm saying that I, or anyone else, could easily get pulled over for texting, when they're not actually texting, is what I'm saying! And possibly ticketed and fined!

Have I not already established that, NO, I do not text or phone while driving?

Have you not being following the arguments I've been making, or the posts I've made?

Talk about not paying attention! (-_-);

Doesn't anyone have a conscience beyond what the law dictates that one should or should not do?

I make it a point not to. It goes against everything I stand for wink

Joking aside, this was a general "you", not you personally, Bern.
Perhaps I should've used "one", but using "one" always makes me feel kinda pompous for some reason.

Of course they do (I hope), it's just that a lot of people either A) don't care or B) are too stupid to stop and think about what they're doing. These laws are made because A)some people simply will not listen if there's no threat of punishment and B) some people don't realise it's dangerous unless the law points it out to them.

Laws like these aren't made for YOU (and this is the personal you, Bernie) obviously, they're made for the people who DO make a hazard of themselves on the road.
