    You'll take it from my cold dead fingers!

    Until the final rule: both hands must be kept at 10 & 2 position on steering wheel, visible to LEOs at all times. Learn to flick the turn signal lever with your elbow or foot, I guess.

    Road Searches: No good answer

    Really makes me wonder whose freedom & rights our soldiers are fighting to preserve, because US authorities don't seem to think citizens still have any. Yes, the Youtube vid was Canadian citizens, but arresting them for asking "Are you gonna shoot me?" [which was a reasonable question under the...

    The Real Newt Gingrich

    It's a wrongheaded position, IMO. Every country has the same rights as we do, whether we 'like' them or trust them or not. The sheer hubris of assuming that WE know what's best is an expensive mistake - and our leaders have already made way too many of those. It's more than the $ that upsets...

    You'll take it from my cold dead fingers!

    I'd say the problem was distracted driving [compounded by immaturity and the invulnerability that teenagers usually feel]. Distracted driving is THE problem, and restricting cellphones isn't the answer [they're a distant 3rd in the list of frequent distractions], it's just the one officials can...

    Police Harrassment

    Oh yeah - the more 'accounts' we read of encounters with LEOs, the more cynical we get about the 'enhancements' - that's unavoidable. We've pushed for the real story enough to be pretty sure it's not all included in the first telling..... My point was that it's ok to question the 'facts', but...

    The Real Newt Gingrich

    It's hard to believe anyone could support a candidate who says another country [Iran] has no right to nuclear weapons, [that's our decision to make?!] and he would order all kinds of disruptive actions 'with deniability' :eek: to interfere in their affairs. Because we've managed our own so well...

    Why ron paul should not be president

    The MSM started off ignoring Paul, and dismissing him as irrelevant when obliged to mention that he is also a candidate. They now have a vested interest in maintaining that fiction - about face would be pretty embarrassing. But given the caliber of the competition, Paul is going to win the...

    You'll take it from my cold dead fingers!

    A 19 yr old texts 11 times in 11 minutes, then wrecks his 4 wheeler, causing multiple fatalities, and that's reasonable grounds for prohibiting all drivers from using handsfree cellphones? That's just NUTS.:mad:

    You'll take it from my cold dead fingers!

    Maybe because we know the overwhelming majority of truck vs car accidents are caused by the car driver, and the number 1 distraction to a driver is talking to a passenger, the number 2 cause is eating/drinking, and cellphones are a distant 3rd - so why attack the problem by restricting...

    You'll take it from my cold dead fingers!

    Except the outrageous stuff comes at us so fast & furious, we barely have time to register it [much less determine how bad it may be] before the next juggernaut hurtles onto the horizon.... My plan on the cellphone is to toss it into the sleeper [out of arm's reach] if stopped. Not because I'm...

    dot and the blue tooth headset............

    Communities can have handsfree laws too: there are currently 2 near Cleveland, Oh. North Olmsted and Brooklyn will cite anyone holding a cell to their ear.
