Damn kids & their cell phones

Sorry, Joel. Good thread, though -- informative. I just refurbished my taillights so that dumb people will see me, that is, if they're not texting. I am keeping my big bumpers in the name of self defense!

Just my late and little rant on the consequence question. When I was a young punk behind the wheel of my grossly underweight and over powered 69 Dodge at 17 I had my share of scrapes and plain stupid mistakes. The police were never the fear... a ticket, big deal... paid and forgotten. It was the other drivers that put the fear into me and of course my parents. I guess all I'm saying is from way back when I was 16 thank you for not calling a cop. Someone else said it... you let her know she was an idiot and then showed her forgiveness for a dumb mistake...there is the lesson on how to live as a human being. Paying a ticket and dealing with a cop who couldn't care less teaches you nothing.

I would err on the side of the 9 iron.
