Not sure if some of you live in highly populated areas with alot of cars, but in places like Miami..I swear ppl buy their licenses vs.. earning them through exams.
Also wish ppl would not talk on phones while driving...

"Drivers can also be fined 60 for not wearing a seatbelt. "
- In the US if your passenger does not wear a belt, you also get a ticket...😛

Using a cell phone while driving is banned in most of the populated areas in the US as well..😃😃😃.. NYC has a strict law on cell phone use while driving and holds a heavy penalty if caught plus points on your license..😛..

Yes Arun - people should be more carefull - i had to get my license the hard way.. failed twice 😒..😆😆😆.. but then again i wouldnt call myself a safe driver..😕..

Banning cellphones while driving - It is not a federal law in USA. Just enforced by some states and municipalities. It is catching up everywhere though. Midwestern drivers are the best. We can control a two door in a foot of snow.

Seeing how I was rear-ended exactly one week ago, I'd say yes, people can't freakin' drive. Apparently one car length apart isn't a rule anymore.

As far as cell phones go, its one thing to talk on the phone, and although I discourage that as well, at least one can keep their eyes on the road and one hand on the wheel. But what I can't stand is people who text while driving. That requires you to look away from the road and focus on your phone. WHAT in the world could be so important that you have to text someone while driving.

I just wanted to show my disapproval towards the middle path ,
that is ,
either you allow cellphones while driving or you don't ,
no middle path,
and no appreciation of the middle path either (if you know what i mean 😃 )

Regarding what you asked,
see this 😊
