When the Universe tries to tell you something, you should listen.

I can dig it.

I've often thought it was ironic that the night I hurt myself at work, I was thinking to myself in the car on the way, "What if I fell down and dislocated my shoulder at work?"
Whaddaya think happened next?

Okay, so everyone is driving too fast for the weather condition, and yer bitching about the one guy who was actually driving slow?

I got a handsfree bluetooth for my phone, and I never fail to use it in the car. It's on before I put the car into gear. With two kids at home I don't see any reason to take chances.

The headset auto answers the phone after two rings, so I don't have to look away from my driving on the off chance someone calls me. I also set it up for voice dial, so if I do have to call I can just push a button on the headset and say the keyword for the person I want to call. Again, no reason to take eyes off of the road, and even that hand is only busy for a couple seconds. At no time do I need to use two hands for anything

I don't use the phone in the car often, but I've still taken the time and expense to get myself set up to be as safe as possible.

I'm amazed that hands-free isn't legally required.

It is in the UK. Or rather it's illegal to use a non-handsfree mobile.

I've just done a bit of driving in Europe, and the Germans seem to have great lane-discipline. It's quite frustrating being back in the UK waiting for people getting out of the outside lane so I can pass them.

Hope the rant got it out of your system, Vraille .

That's because they are just trying to get everyone to put those bluetooth pods in your ears so eventually they can turn all of you into Cybermen.
