It's also illegal here in California. But that didn't stop the Prius from travelling in the fast lane, at 45mph in a 55 zone, about two hours ago near my home.
I observed another Prius incident earlier today. I'm waiting for a left-turn arrow, and observed one in opposing traffic waiting to turn right. He has a small SUV behind him also waiting to turn. There's NO TRAFFIC preventing their right turn, but that idiot just stared down the street, probably waiting for something to appear out of thin air and causing an imaginary accident, all the while the SUV is laying on his horn trying to wake this guy up.
Two in one day is unusual for me to personally observe. I can't help but think of how many more are happening at a given time.
Please read the information that you conveniently snipped from the last post. I will refresh your eyes here: Prius starts at $21K Camry starts at 19K Tomes
Hmmm...have you driven a Prius? That friggin' screen is like an Eye Magnet!!! For the first few days or weeks of driving the car you just can't keep your eyes off the damn thing! (esp if you're a techie like me.) The novelty wears off, though and normal driving skills return...slowly...
This happens everywhere. We've had right turn on red here in Mass for about 20 years now, and still some people (who were kids when the law was passed) sit there and wait for the green.
Actually, driving will talking on a cell phone (with or without a handset0 increases the risk of a crash. It also slows down traffic, because people are not paying attention to the road and cars around them.
