Concealed Cell Phone Permits

Yes, texting while driving is extremely dangerous, you aren't even looking at the road; insane. I think one of the Mythbusters episodes showed talking on the phone was worse than driving at some specified BAC. Penalties should be commensurate with DUI.
 
Cell phone texting death is not done on purpose,the two ideas are not related. Accidents with guns are not common. No one uses a cell phone to purposely kill someone. Actually the comparison makes no sense at all.
 
So of the 1,100,000 crashes 20% or 220,000 are in the fatal injury or property damage category. (caused by texting or talking on a cell phone)

Now imagine if there were that many gun accidents that resulted in injuries, fatalities or property damage in the US.

It's time for all liberals to turn in their deadly cell phones and have some "common sense" control. They should at least be required to get a complete background check and do at least 2 weeks of classroom training followed by writing an essay and paying a $200/fee for a CCP permit. (8 hours would not be enough)

Then if they are caught texting in a school zone, movie theater, at work, or any government building their permit would be revoked. If they are caught texting while driving without a CCP permit the charge is a 3rd degree felony.

I am just not comfortable with all of these liberals riding around texting and putting everyone at risk. What is this the Wild West?

Oh really ask the dead people......or their surviving relatives...no doubt you're a CP perp

look up reckless vehicular homicide in your state law books... your cavalier attitude towards this dangerous problem is yet more evidence that liberals see this behavior as some kind of "right"

Anyone who drives and texts is a complete idiot. Might as well have someone in the back seat put their hands over your eyes for 50% of the time you're driving around.

The weapon in this case is the automobile, not the cell phone. And yes you are required to have a license to drive. That license also teaches to limit the use of cell phone while driving and in many states it is illegal to operate a cell phone not in hands free mode.

So what's the point here?
 
The turning point here was about five years ago. That was the year that accidents overall, and the number of fatalities due to cellular texting, exceeded the same categories for Impaired Driving. The rates for accidents involving texting have risen in the meantime, although they are stabilizing now due to distracted driving legislation, currently enacted in all ten provinces and three Territories in Canada.

That data was limited to proven conditions; in other words the time of the accident from in-car telemetry could be positively correlated to cellular data transmission records.

There are many conditions where they could not positively prove texting was occouring during the accident timeframe. In other words, the accident rate due to texting is under-reported.

Similarly, DIY was positively proven via blood tests or breath tests, with instances of leaving the scene not included.

It should be noted that all DUI statistics reported by Safety or Insurance entities (whether here in Canada or anywhere in the US, EU, UK, etc) include all accidents involving any injury to any party.

That would include, for example, a vehicle driven by a sober operator hitting a drunk pedestrian who entered the roadway outside of a pedestrian crossing.
 
Gun control isn't about saving lives it is about disarming the U.S. people so we will fit into the one world government. Slaves/subjects can't be armed.

The high number of accidents and deaths due to cell phone usage while driving...???

Maybe you need some training as well......if you don't understand the danger to the general public. Same theory behind the liberal attack on firearms that they are simply "too dangerous".

Cell phone + automobile + driver who ignores the training = public danger
Firearm + person who ignores the training = public danger

+1 The whole conspiracy is cloaked in public safety "common sense" rhetoric

True, plus the millennial generation came of driving age.
 
All this could have been solved if the creators of the Constitution would have taken a little extra time and addressed the problems of cell phone usage just like they did with guns.
