I remember playfully drawing a happy face on the SOLE of a classmate's sneaker while he was sitting with his feet propped up on a chair, and he was FURIOUS with me for "ruining" his sneakers. Oh, and by the way, the cool kids call them "kicks". Or at least they did a couple of years ago. I may be totally out of date already, again.Sparkling Redhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12799366562472325812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4869505302730434075.post-37854593884501091632011-12-24T11:45:18.679-06:002011-12-24T11:45:18.679-06:00It’s been an offence over here (England) for some ...It’s been an offence over here (England) for some time now.

And they do follow through - I got fined 100 dollars for talking on my phone. Haven't done it since. There is 'drive mode' on phones that has a message saying the person is driving and can't answer their phone. Sometimes you get stupid people pulling over to answer their phone - in the dumbest most dangerous places though.<br /><br />Mastering the art of texting and driving? Good one.

Music, GPS, the wife and kids, the dog, other drivers, billboards, etc. Ban the damn phones. I'm thinking of buying a cell phone jammer and just driving around with it watching other people freak out. Then I'm going to walk into WalMart with it on. Sweet chaos.<br /><br />I almost ran over some stupid kid on a bicycle a while back. He was weaving all over the place not watching where he was going because he was texting!

Even a "little fender bender" can result in whiplash that creates chronic, lifelong headaches that seriously diminish a person's quality of life. I wish people took driving more seriously.
