Texting isn't the problem...

Texting isn't the problem... The Beast is about to admit to his high crimes and misdemeanors. I text and drive. I blog and drive. I shop online, read, watch videos, and even check out this very website and drive. I drive 12 or 13 hours straight up to Michigan and back, usually doing something on my phone the majority of the trip because I stopped listening to my radio / CD player before cell phones even came along. I do all of this and never come close to getting into an accident. I think I still drive better than 75 percent or more of the other motorists around me. I don't speed beyond perhaps a five or ten mph bump on the highway at times. I don't weave in and out of lanes, trying to get ahead of the next guy. I give others ample room to merge or change lanes. I think the problem so many people have isn't that they're texting while driving. I think their problem is they're driving while texting. They're devoting the majority of their focus on their cellular device instead of the road around them. I don't try to compose an entire email in a single go. I write a few words at most during a quick glance no longer than someone takes to glance at their fuel and speedometer needles. I read part of a sentence and then finish it after once again making sure I have several vehicle lengths of clear space between myself and the person ahead of me. On the highway, I usually leave a big enough gap for a semi to easily merge into if needed. I began driving during the 1980s when we played with CB radios, tape cassettes, and engaged in all sorts of on the road tomfoolery while not crashing into things. The problem today is that, even with much simpler, hands free devices and automatic electronic aids to assist a driver, people are even more engaged with the gadgets than we were back then. It's just really not that difficult to walk and chew bubble gum at the same time as long as you're concentrating more on the walking and less on the chewing. BEAST OUT |

Well someone can take a split second to look at how much gas they have in the tank, so I'm guessing she actually used up more than a split second. It goes without saying (or should) that I give extra attention to corners, curves, residential neighborhoods, and other congested areas.

I wouldn't even be able to function in the careers I've held if I wasnt able to devote some attention to side details while still performing my main task. In the Navy I was a Second Level Tactical Boat Coxswain. I had to operate two different radios, maintain awareness of my crew's positions, operate sirens and other electronics, all while not crashing into other patrol boats or high value assets. In my current career as a crane operator, I have to maintain total spacial awareness (north, south, east, west, up, down) while moving objects that weigh tons over and around equipment and coworkers. I maintain my position that people simply devote their main focus on the device instead of the job at hand.
