So Tweeters = Snowflakes. I can get behind that!

Hmm. It's not about the tech. It's about timing, prioritizing and will power.

This is more about those who choose to get into distractions while behind the wheel, like the socially tethered zombies (hive mind junkies) who can't put down their devices even when driving.

It's like people who choose to chop vegetables while trying to multitask. Can't blame the knife* if they happen to cut themselves. It's willful distraction when already engaged in something serious that deserves their full attention, except that distractions while driving can hurt so many others aside from the driver.

* And can't start banning knives because of those idiots either.

Yes, they lack will power.

Among other things. Too many today don't seem to understand that there are things that require one's undivided attention.

Oh man. Next time you're driving in my neck of the woods please let me know, so I can make sure to stay off the roads.

"Can't blame the knife* if they happen to cut themselves. "
Didn't they ban pointy knives in Britain a while back or is it an urban legend ? :0
