I hate it when you are in the passanger seat and they do it. I never know what to say other then "WTF are you doing??" but most the time that would only be ignored or cause problems. f**king people...

I stand guilty as charged. I do my best to only do it when I'm stopped at a light.

I only do that if I'm at the back of the line at a light. I hate it when it people do it when they're actually moving or they're not paying attention and holding up traffic.

Now that it's been brought up, what I hate are meaningless laws like the ones that issue fines for using a device while driving. It's not as if that's the only way to distract a driver...

But they are a way to distract the driver, and a very avoidable one.

I never text while driving, and only a few times have I picked up the phone to answer a call.

Exactly, looking over at your friends that are in your car, or adjusting your radio can be distracting as well, but as far as I know there isn't any laws or fines for that kind of stuff. It can just as dangerous.

So is speaking to someone else in the car with you, eating, or using the radio. Like Cal said, there are no penalties for those.

Maybe because those are not nearly as distracting.

[DoomRulz]

You sure about that?

[SM]

Yes.

[DoomRulz]

Really? So someone cannot be distracted by fumbling about grabbing a piece of food in the passenger seat or, heaven forbid, choking on said food? Or getting into an argument with the person sitting next to them, just like you would over a phone? Or fiddling with the radio, looking for your favourite station? Or adjusting the volume? Or looking for that next song to play with a music player?

[Nightmare Asylum]

Yes, those are all potential distractions, and if at all possible it would be best to avoid all of them while driving.
