    I agree, but only when the goddamn cell phones are nowhere near their hands.
    I talk on my cell phone and text while driving daily, and I've been in nine accidents. Not during a single one of those accidents was I even touching my cell phone.

    British, but relevant.

    Texting while driving is more dangerous than drink-driving

    Also, there are many other blogs and smaller news links that support the same thing. Texting is worse than drunk driving, and is now taught in many driver's education courses complete with the gory videos that show corpses pulled from cars still clutching their phones.

    I hope they weren't her fault.
    Lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky me again! I hardly knew I should use me feet again!

    What do you have to say for yourself?

    So you're a special case, just like I am then? I'm a guy and yet I don't act like I own the road.

    You know statistically speaking from my house hold I have to disagree. Me and my dad have never been in accident or wrecked a car. My mom on the other hand hit a house, backed into our garage, been a couple of fender benders and that's just the tip of the iceburg. The first time my sister was out in car she drove it into the medium.

    That's just my household though. I guess women drivers can be good, unless they are driving a White Van or something. People who drive White Vans are crazy. They go like 20 over the speed limit and are all over the road. I swear I saw the same White Van pulled over twice. Seriously people who drive these things suck at it.

    The problem here is that you have a sample size of about 3-5. Cuchi has a sample size of 3000-50000

    Income tax is good if you actually want your government to have money so they can do things. Assuming you trust your government to not screw up. Sorta like how the Canadian Gov't said they'd put more money into post-secondary education. What do they do instead? Don't put more money into it and cut back taxes, meaning there is now less money going into the government so they can't even put more into education.

    Then again, either way you are gonna pay. :/

    Biggest rip off: credit cards. A vicious and endless cycle.

    Another good ripoff, inspired by various posts in this thread: Text messages. 9p for a small text, or pretty much the same thing for a phonecall that would cover about 20 text messages? Hmmmmm.

    I have 3000 free texts per month. I usually use maybe three or four of them though.

    Well, yes, if you have free texts then I'm sure it's not a ripoff. I'm sure that goes for people who (somehow, God knows) get free car insurance as part of some kind of contract, too.
