Comments on: Another boring mention about the cell phone ban… blah, blah, blah. http://la.metblogs.com/2008/07/01/another-boring-mention-about-the-cell-phone-ban-blah-blah-blah/ Wed, 25 Nov 2009 03:51:12 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: Burns! http://la.metblogs.com/2008/07/01/another-boring-mention-about-the-cell-phone-ban-blah-blah-blah/#comment-51110 Burns!

No problem with insurance. "if you talk on your headset outside of the car, especially while in line at Starbucks, everyone thinks you’re a douche?" I would like to start a campaign of publicly mocking these douchebags, as well as the ones who leave that flashing blue light attached to their ear at all times, thus telling the world "I'm a very busy and important person." Anyone care to join me? Finally, as a motorcycle rider who has been nearly killed (most recently last week) by a-holes with phones to their ears, I'll be curious to see if the ban helps. I'll let y'all know. Of course, if you don't hear from me, it didn't help. @westondeboer:

The only strange bit was that the tracking status always said "We have been notified by the shipper to expect your package," and never changed. But it showed up and was postmarked on the date they said they shipped it.

Or do the police report this violation to your insurance company? If you get a ticket does it count as a moving violation?

Still funny. I am so glad today is here. Now I can just turn off the phone and not be bothered. My cocoon is disturbance free again. The pic has been around for several years on the net. Still funny.

We could solve the budget crises and make our roads safer. They should raise the fine to $200.00. We could solve the budget crises and make our roads safer.
