Posted by Nicholas at February 10, 2007 12:03 AMSome people are perfectly capable of talking on a cell phone, drinking coffee, or having a dog in the backseat without endangering themselves or anyone else on the road. Others can have eyes on the road, hand in the 10-2 position, and seatbelt securely fastened — and still drive like a drunk 12-year-old.
So here's a novel idea: Why not ignore what's going on inside the car, and just pull people over and fine them when they drive recklessly?
