Stupidity on the Roads of Ontario

Ontario passed a law making it illegal to use a cell phone while driving.  The law includes texting and talking.  Hands free devices are alright, but questionable at times, but at least its encouraged to not talk and drive.

I travel the highways of the province, the streets of town, cities, and villages and every day I see idiots talking on their cell phones and some texting.  Are phone calls and texting that important?  Let's be real about this.

First day of school and a girl is killed by a truck in Toronto.  The trucker saw the girl and assumed she would stop at the corner.  The girl was texting and not paying attention to what was going on about her.  She didn't stop at the corner and walked into the path of the truck.

Reality check here people!  The trucker should have been more observant and understanding that people with their heads down aren't paying attention.  He should have stopped.  The girl didn't need to be engulfted in her cell phone and needed to be observant to her surroundings.  Both are guilty.

The stupidity of people gets them into trouble.  Cell phone use seems to be getting one of the major causes of accidents next to drinking and driving, which is still all too common on the highways.

People have said that others should mind their own business.  But that's no excuse for stupidity.  No one needs to be talking on their cell phones while driving or walking.  No one needs to be drinking and driving or drinking and walking either.  Alcohol and cell phones are becoming the tools of death for many stupid people.

Yes - if you text and drive, use your cell phone and drive, drink and drive you are stupid people.  End of story, period.
