cell phones and adhd | ADHD Information
am I just jealous <or is this dangerous to everyone who has'nt been diagnosed with adhd?when I'm driving I can listen to music,or one person talking at a time .
I'm also listening for engine problems,new rattles which may be indications of car problems , observing traffic flow , # of cars in front and behind(especially semis and cycles)and now I HAVE TO BE ABLE TO SEE IF THEY'RE TALKING ON THE PHONE THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD!!!!!!!
For all those concerned, may I suggest finding a pair of polarized sunglasses,It helps find the IDIOTS on the road
Now that I got that out of my system, I don't think it matters whether or not the jack*ss that cut you off is on a cellphone or not. I think it's best to just be aware of everything going on around you.
Buuuut..... cellphones should absolutely be banned from the road. End of story. I don't care who you are, your attention is not 100% on the road when you are holding a phone to your ear.
LOL - those stupid headsets aren't much better. A co-worker once told me he was driving, and when he took off his headset it got hooked on his glasses and yanked them right off his face, and onto the floor.
He started using the handset again that very day.I have to admit I am guilty of cell phone and driving all the time. I am a social worker on the road a lot and deal with crisis situations on a daily basis. For me it is mostly an emergency call and I do have hands off. I do see your point.
When I'm driving, I always like watching people in my rearview mirror, just to see how many are taking on their cell phones or brushing their hair, etc. I also like to point out bad drivers so I can say "see? at least I don't do that!".
I should probably just pay attention to my own driving.
