Maine already has laws out for mandatory seatbelts and distracted driving...no cell phones, eating etc. Another hazard is sleep apnea....I have that and fell asleep at the wheel once and scared myself..I am now being treated. I heard somewhere that if a person has apnea and doesn't have it treated, it could be manslaughter charges if they kill someone while falling asleep at the wheel!free indeedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00945613713062219160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5927095804830018912.post-9457043292005589932010-01-03T06:52:24.793-08:002010-01-03T06:52:24.793-08:00I agree with you about common sense - it seems lik...I agree with you about common sense - it seems like it is less common all the time. Your comment on being on time is a good one. If you are late, you are distracted and that is not good. I feel much better when I am early, not running late.Melindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08928642510523047954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5927095804830018912.post-16506253881187337052010-01-03T05:12:06.204-08:002010-01-03T05:12:06.204-08:00Thanks for all your comments.

In Australia it has been law for a long time as is the wearing of seat belts.To me it is just normal to do so.<br />It is interesting to read about different countries and their laws.Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15151975887674467122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5927095804830018912.post-1629008432005829632010-01-02T18:22:22.270-08:002010-01-02T18:22:22.270-08:00Maybe I'm odd, but I have a phone for MY conve...Maybe I'm odd, but I have a phone for MY convenience. When the phone rings and I'm busy (cooking, sewing, driving, whatever), I let it go to voice mail. Yep, if it is important enough, the person calling will leave a msg. I can always call back when it is more convenient for me. As for calling others while driving, remember to set up the voice activated dialing system on your cell phone. OR just pull over and make that call from the side of the road--no distracted driving possible that way.

I was in a car wreck and broke my neck! i'm fine now but it took a long time to heal. My son was not quite three and it was rough.needless to say I always wear a seat belt and have made my nsone swear to always wear one no matter who he is with. Im hope he keeps his promise.Pattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09719092779656444791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5927095804830018912.post-43209601062942725222010-01-02T14:53:40.488-08:002010-01-02T14:53:40.488-08:00Even with all of the laws we have (in CA)we still ...Even with all of the laws we have (in CA)we still have the lack of common sense and intentional breaking of the laws. Just today as we were out driving we passed so many driving while on the phone and texting while driving. We even passed a tourist bus with the driver texting. CRAZY!!!!<br /><br />Glad you are okay.Needled Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07749314475716010490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5927095804830018912.post-78014945700335272152010-01-02T10:33:49.543-08:002010-01-02T10:33:49.543-08:00I agree with you!!!!
