In car distractions

The thing that strikes me is that they would probably meet with the same kind of response as speed cameras. Can you imagine people wanting to take there test every 5 to 10 years! Where I come from, the concept of having your car MOTed annually would incite a revolution. I think most people would moan, but giving your car a basic safety check once a year is just accepted -- why shouldn't your driving skills be vetted once a decade?

I personally think it would be a good idea. I just know how hard it is to please people. No matter what you do there will always be someone who thinks you are doing the wrong thing.

Coasting. That's ok if your the boss. Sadly where I work, if you surname isn't Huntsman, you'll never be the boss.

Just a thought on speed cameras. If no one speeds then they will generate no money, so they will not pay for themselves, so the scamera partnerships will have to be disbanded. Once they are gone we can all go back to driving the way we did!  

Because it only occured to me after I got caught!

However I cannot deny that I am not always the best person for following my own advice.

I am now determined not to get another one, even if it means holding up a queue of cars on the stretch where I was caught.
