for all you proponents of this law,
Whats next? How about all those crashes from someone using their GPS NAVMAP while driving, are we going to outlaw those too? Smoking? Talking with your passengers? fiddling with your ipod to skip to the music you want.
We already have laws addressing inattentive driving, use those current lawsinstead of creating more Pseudo probable-cause to be stopped, illegally searched and selectively taxed by the police.
I think the driving test should be a little tougher and the operator must show the ability to multitask while driving!
Anyone here have a pilots license (private or commercial)?
How many things have we got going on in the left seat at any given time? We have a radio we are communicating on, VOR dial that we are screwing with, localizer, transponder and dealing with 3 different axis instead of only 2 of them. Along with traffic that could be anywhere around, above or below you. Restricted airspace, Etc Etc Etc. We just can;t pull over to stop if we get overwhelmed, we still need to maintain control and handle the 7-8 different tasks required to navigate including a serious discussion with ATC while also reading charts to figure what frequencies, transponder settings, ILS, pattern & glide slope. Why is it that GA aircraft are not falling out of the sky every day?
Because the education and training requirements are higher! there are alot of people that are driving that really shouldn't be! Any major city I visit I see people reading the paper & driving, applying make-up, and tons of other dangerous activities. Laws already exist to counter this, but nothing is being done still, so how would enacting a duplicate law help curb this activity?
