Worse than using a cellphone while driving I reckon...

[Number One]

All this hooharrr about stopping people talking on their cellphones while driving and yet I don't see anything that pertains to stopping the very dangerous practise I witnessed the other day.

Tootling along on the bike thinking to myself how nice it was that it wasn't raining I started to notice the mini in front of me was swerving all over the road and braking and accerlating erratically.

Learner driver I assumed...but as I watched I noticed the occupants and driver were gesticulating wildly - hands flinging about like they were swatting away bees...then I looked closer - they were signing to each other - having a hearing impaired conversation while driving FFS!

Surely deaf drivers 'having a conversation with their deaf back seat passengers' is even more dangerous than cell phone usage - where's the demerit points for this situation eh?!

As you were

[ready4whatever]

yeah theres a thousand other things that you shouldnt do while driving. one day they'll all be illegal the way things are going

[Insanity_rules]

:shit: Oh my god if it weren't so serious it would be funny as.

[StoneY]

Ive been in their car!
I have 2 'haering impaired' mates I used to play cricket with.....

Only ever travelled to one game in their car, was a wild ride I can tell ya!!!
I ended up driving home so they could argue safely

And mate DEAF people argue like nothing you ever seen, it's hilarious!!!!

Dogs and bones man.......

[nosebleed]

Pfffft. Try keeping up with all the new posts, between traffic lights.

Good job males can multi-task.


...oh wait.

[LBD]

And I think Vanity mirrors for the drivers side should be illegal, and there should be stops on the rear view mirror to prevent it being turned toward the driver....

Following a lass in a wee white car near Levin in steady open road traffic 100kph +_...she twisted the mirror towards her self and began looking inthe mirror tussling her hair with both hands for quite some time....I backed off some...

I passed a young girl who was riding a scooter in a 100km/h zone.

She was wearing a mini skirt, singlet top and jandals in addition to her helmet.

She was texting at the time. :crazy:

I had fun today. Smith and Smith Auto Glass guy nearly hit me - was talking on his phone. I manouvered around to his driver's door, then sat on the airhorn next to his open window. Fuck was he pissed off. Abused the fuck out of me he did. I pulled over, rang the 0800 on the side of the van, and laid a formal complaint with their complaint person (who at least sounded concerned)

Good on you for doing that. I had some moron try to merge into me on the harbour bridge while he was yakking on a mobile fone. He sees me at the last second and swerves wildly back into his own lane...... when I get up to his drivers side window we look at each other and hes laughing. What a fucking dickhead !!! playing russian roulette with our lives they are ! they just dont understand that its not a fucking game out there. Its serious ffs.

I think eating/drinking/shaving/applying makeup should be added to the list too.

You want to eat/drink/shave/put on your makeup? Then get better time management.

Not at all... or are you proposing we let women drive in the first place?

They shouldn't have installed a Playstation™ Singstar. :no:

'having a conversation with their deaf back seat passengers' is even more dangerous than cell phone usage

Especially if they're yelling.

Still, no worse than driving by Braille.

A few days ago I saw the same thing but this was in a 50km area.

She was making a right turn at an inner city intersection while texting !!!!
