Default OT has to happen all the time. I guess

Any laws regarding cell phone usage while driving don't take into
account the myriad other distractions that now exist or will exist
in the future. The only mandate that should be put into effect is
"while driving, get yer head out of yer ass and drive!"


I sweartagod this is true! Last Sunday, while on my way home from a
short road trip, I glanced at a billboard on a section of freeway
under construction on the south side of downtown Milwaukee that
showed a picture of someone using a cell phone while driving and said
"Inclement weather doesn't cause accidents; distractions do!"

There was also a note indicating that this message was brought to us
by the Wisconsin Department of Transportation, and some fine print
that I couldn't quite make out 50+ miles per hour.

um......did i mention that this was on a billboard......on the
freeway.....in a highly congested area with a heavy traffic
flow....in a construction zone?


DAMMIT! There should be a law. . . ;-)
