If we do the same thing do we then have to go to our boss and get fined and suspended by them as well?
Correct weight.

Although as a bicycle rider I think the punishment for members of the community who use a mobile while driving should be immediate license cancellation as a starting point for suitable punishment (slow death by hanging is another alternative) your premise is correct in my view.

Problem isn't mobile phones or doing 5ks over the speed limit, the problem is people cant drive.

How is a mobile phone that different to changing the radio station, getting something out of the glovebox, eating food, yelling at the kids, women who do their makeup whilst driving...

Plenty of distractions, but most people just cant drive. Years ago it was drink drive bloody idiot then wipe off 5, now its mobile phones, in 5 years there will be some other target.

I've seen people driving blind (with the car moving) with their head down looking at the phone, probably texting.

It's way different.

I was expecting it to be a front page headline today. H-Sun finally has a bit of integrity for leading with Majak’s comeback.

At least JDG didn’t blame the dog.

I'm sick of all these people using their phones while driving. If I see one more person doing it I'm gonna wind down my window and throw my beer at them.

It's actually a piece of p15s talking on a mobile whilst driving nowadays, apart for being on the look out for cops, that's the distraction. In the old days the car phone had the coiley lead connected from the hand piece to the receiver. Going round corners was a challenge with the lead catching on the blinker lever.

Was this from her latest podcast with Gleeson? I saw the "every year there's something at Collingwood" lead for it and almost spat my coffee everywhere. What a dishonest cow this woman is considering there's more going on at other clubs she's not reporting on.
