(I made the mistake of starting this thread in a section that does not get back on the first page when someone replys. Any suggestions) ?
Joe- I agree that the car needs something special for a paint job/graphics, to attract attention. I know when we had a dragon theme on our racing sprint, kids & adults called the car either the dragon, or the moon car. The moon & night sky glowed in the dark. One guy suggested last night to have the skulls near the front of the car eating cell phones, then on the fuel tank, have them pooping them out lol !
The numbers on texting injuries and deaths are hard to figure, because people don't admit to doing so. People are now typing down by their knees attempting to hide the phones, which makes it even more difficult to text, and for law enforcement to see. Wonderful huh !
From what I've researched with the US safety Council, in 2009, 5,870 people lost their lives and an estimated 515,00S people were injured in police reported,... crashes. So how many were not,....reported or confirmed ?
Bill- Cell phones are a great tool & sometimes makes life easier, if used properly & under the conditions & circumstance's. It's not only dangerous when driving, but I hate it when you're having dinner at a restaurant, the movie house, ect..ect..., and the idiots don't turn them off, and say,..."sorry, but I have to take this call".
A friend was out with his family bowling and their was a family next to his. The mother actually had the ball in her right hand, texting with her left, and through the ball down the lane. If I had seen that, I would have said, "lady,.... can't you put that damn thing down for a couple of hours, to enjoy being with your family !
Isn't that disgusting ?
One time at Thanksgiving, a family member got a call right when saying the prayer before eating. I took it from her hand, and through it crossed the room.
Now when I have friends or family over for dinner ect., I take all their cell phones away, just like car keys when drinking, so know one interrupts our time together, especially on holidays.
Another example. Two years ago before all this happened, my sisters boyfriend told me that Carol and him text 30-50 times per day, while he's driving a 20,000 to 50,000 lb. semi down our highways/interstates, at 60-80 mph !
I told them NOT to do that saying, "you could drive over a family and not even know it". His reply,..."well, you don't know how lonely it gets". I said, "what did you do before the texting phones" ? "I would call every time when stopping to eat or fuel up". My reply, "wasn't that enough" ?
Some,... trucking firms now give drivers cells, that record every time you talk & will reprimanded them if used irresponsible.
When driving in the city/interstate's, how many people out of 50, do you see using cells ? ,....One too many.
I hate to say this, but we really need more members to donate. Not only to build the car, as we're getting parts donated, but to enable us to campaign with.
So, people please give from your heart
All of us need to do what we can to save lives. especially our young one's.
but she whipped back into her lane....and across into the center lane as well!
