SO sad....

People just don't understand.
They think they can do it,
until they can't.

In this state "Massachusetts" it may soon be that cops can pull you over if they see a cell phone in your hand while driving. vz

Same here in Georgia. But, distracted driving is still a cause of accidents. I have my smart phone set for no notifications or calls while I’m driving. It replies with a message that I’m driving.

That's already the case here in California, too. Unfortunately it still doesn't stop people from texting while driving.

Distracted driving:

- trying to set your AC temp on your new car’s touch panel.
- trying to change your radio’s band using your new car’s touch panel
- trying to tune the radio using your new car’s touch panel.
- doing anything using your new car’s touch screen system

All of the above require you to take your eyes off the road to be sure your touch panel settings are correct. Let’s go back to using analog temperature sliders, mechanical push buttons, etc. so you don’t have to have a visual display to check if your settings are being made and are what you want.

- talking while driving whether to your passengers or your phone.

All I do is press a button on my steering wheel and then use voice commands for all of the above. In addition to using voice for radio stations, I can also select song, artist, album, or genre from an SD card. It is in a Jeep, but I imagine it is pretty common today.

Last week a friend of mine got an Acura RDX with a heads up display.

Going forward makes more sense than going backwards. IMHO
