That's same around me, NJ just instituted that law, and its a great one, if you ask me. i hvae a cell phone, and if i need to talk to someone badly enough, speakerphone works perfectly well and i don't have to take my hands off the wheel.
Actually, i remeber discussing that with someone for some reason. The thing is, lchohol is a depressant. its makes you relax. When in an accident, the sober person tenses up, which leads to far more injuries. the drunk person remains lax, and so doesn't get nearly as hurt. Bastards.
[oops. avenger already said it. oh, well.]
0_o and you consider that
good? mine gets about 23 mpg city driving, and its a 1990 celica!
I don't agree with you on anything else in this thread, but i second this, as always.
Haha. Excellent advice, that.

And, finally, my advice. Now, i have a sports car. An old sports car, but its still a sports car, and its fun to fool the governor and jump 60 mph in a handful of seconds. However, that doesn't mean i do it all the time. Not hardly. And if i ever do it, it on the highway, where ~80 mph is perfectly fine. Around me, its permissable to go 10-15 miles above the speed limit, but no more. I never have any inclination to go faster, except if i'm late for school, and even then i normally just end up not slowing down as much for turns as i should, not speeding. I live around and have to travel on a
very busy road, and i never have, and, hopefully, never will be stupid enough to attempt to speed on it. The speed limits are there to protect me as much as anyone else. If someone hits you because they were speeding, page, guess what! You get to sue! There is no god reason to speed, besides getting somewhere quickly (in which case, leave earlier!) or because its fun, and the second is really, really not a good one. far worst then the first. Oh, and if anyone uses the 'well, everyone else it doing it!" line again, i'm personally gooing to come to your house and slap some sence into you.
