Really though I'm just fuckin with you cause that's what we do. Real talk. I think most people on this forum, and those capable of piloting a motorcycle without dying right away, are capable enough to drive while carrying on a conversation.

I use a handsfree device to talk when I drive, it's mandated on base. I'm sure there are studies that prove blah blah blah but I don't understand how it's any different than talking to a passenger. Are the other people in my car supposed to stare straight ahead like zombies and avoid any interaction with me? Hell, that's why I bring another person on long trips. BTW, there are studies for everything, like the one that says I need to bust a nut every day for the health of my prostate.

I've never had a single or multiple drinks and drove and wish death upon those that do. Real talk.

You use the word "impair" incorrectly as one beer for a 190lb man does not impair, or conclusively diminish his ability to drive, it only has a very small effect on his central nervous system which may or may not have an effect on his driving skillz. Yet, tests can not detect that driving UNDER the legal limit diminishes anyone's capacity to operate an automobile in a perfectly safe manner. I would contend that we would all rather ride our motorcycles in traffic with people who have a tiny amount of alcohol in their system than we would with everyone talking on cell phones.

I came to this thread to point out that I used Trip's advice....and brow beat Verizon into letting me upgrade my phone prior to my upgrade date...I have a Droid X on the way. It looks sweet as hell.
Now for the drunk/distracted driving portion of this thread....I'm with Trip too. People who drive when they have been drinking can all die screaming. Oh...Apple STILL sucks....you're holding it wrong...what a bunch of arrogant pricks. |
