That's exactly what I said. I am polite enough to not say to a person who says, one cannot drive and talk on the radio, with, "you mean *you* can't."
Maybe you do not understand, as my father's generation of non-drivers did not understand how one could drive a car and tune a radio.
Maybe *you* can't.
*You* can drive better when *you* devote the vast majority of *your* attention to the driving task.
I appreciate that. Others can talk on multiple radios, while looking at a laptop computer, hosting a GPS device, and drive across the country, twenty times.
Everybody is different.
Another argument for graduated licenses, which I am all for. Give a real driving test, with cellphones, and blaring sirens, and screeching semis, and illegal street racing, and fire trucks, and max legal speed in the left lane, and getting tail-gated, all of that stuff. Separate the Juan Fangio's from the Elmer Fudds.
It is a good thing for me that my helicopter driver could autorotate and talk on the radio at the same time because that is why I am alive today.
But some people cannot do that. They should probably not only not be talking, they should not be driving - because apparently anything distracts them.
Muffler fell offYes, I must say I'm quite impressed at how little noise even a performance-oriented late-model car...
But this is a never-ending sequential argument which will go nowhere because, basically, if you do not get it, you do not get it.
There was a book, written by Tom Wolfe, about this subject called, "The Right Stuff." If you have it, you have it. If you do not have it, you do not even recognize that you do not have it.
But I am not saying that some people do not have it, they should know, but they don't, so I refrain from the obvious.
