How about a law that states "Any electronical device that

1)  Takes away the hands of the driver from the wheel.

and

2)  Impeedes the abilituy for the driver to safely operate the car.

Is illegal to use while driving unless the operator pulls off to the side or is in standing idle. 

I'm sick and tired of loopholes helping douchebags get away with being douchebags.  Granted its virtually hard to prove in court but still.  If every person who drove with their cell phone could get the cancer then the world would be a better place because instead of driving and putting me at potential risk for crashing because they are oblivious bumholes they'd be too sick from the chemo threapy to drive at all let alone talk on their god damned bloody cell phone/play their DS, and so on and so forth..

I think that when they crash into another car, person, or inanimate object, it's a sort of punishment itself... Plus, this might take a turn like those anti-smoking adds that popped up in the US in the late 90s (I think). Instead of their intended effect, kids responded to it as "it's a normal thing to smoke," just like it's "normal to get drunk off your ass at college."

It's a good law, though. It's not exclusive to gaming...

When automakers stop designing cars with built-in DVD players, GPS systems, satellite radios and god knows what else, I'll stop answering my phone when it rings while I'm driving.

I find it sad they have to make LAWS to make sure people don't do this...

Dvd players? What if someone were to put in a concert DVD and just listen to that while they drive? I don't see the harm in that.

Perhaps they can add a loophole that would cover that sort of thing.

Anyway that remind me of a amgazine article were they interviewed one of the lead designers of Burnout for the PSP. The interviewer mentioned the possibility that people could play the game while driving.

He seemed a little freaked out and said something along the lines of 'Oh God, I hope nobody tries that'. Funny.

 It's bad enough when you see people doing this stuff while you're heading down the interstate, but have you ever been in the car WITH THEM?! Try changing lanes in you state capitol downtown, while you're driver's talking on a cell phone!

You do not want to be there. I still wake up in a cold sweat at nights.

Yeah let's get those horrible video games out of drivers hands that caused...  Wait... How many accidents have these things caused?

Well whatever the percentage may be they're still more dangerous than women driving on the road while doing their makeup in the vanity mirror.

"Volume helps to get a point across but sharp teeth are better."

The first thing that came to mind while reading this was "so I can't shift my gears in the car because it causes me to only have one hand on the wheel?"  I really don't mind the part about cell phones, those people still piss me off.  The distraction is the main thing that needs to be taken care of.
