How true! Like most states, New Hampshire has a law against using a cell phone while driving (we call ours a "distracted driving" ban) but I've never seen it enforced even though it's easy to spot such a driver as you noted. Since it's easy to check the phone records to see if a driver was on a phone while in an accident, I suppose it would be good to use in a lawsuit if you were suing someone who hit you. I wonder if the insurance companies have done this as a legitimate way to get out of paying a claim? In fact, do insurance companies refuse to pay for claimed damages if the insured motorist was DUI and the cause of the accident?

Go back a little over a 100 years and the same was being said of gasoline powered vehicles. It is still early in the development and implementation of electric. Electric offers the advantage of not being tied to only one form of power like gasoline. Electric power can be made using various forms of power, from coal to wind so easier not be under the control of other nations. Like now, the middle east problems threaten our supply of oil, the only source of gasoline. As long as we feed on the oil tit, we are giving money to our enemies and funding our own downfall.
