I applaud you, sir! Spot on!!

Nah, you were clear the first time. You believe the solution to people acting dangerously is to make it impossible for them to do so even if it stops them from doing things which are not dangerous.
Gun violence? Outlaw all guns.
Bad beliefs? Outlaw all religions.
Criminals get off? Outlaw trials and lawyers.

AND
“People in general don’t care about morals or ethics anymore. That generation is long gone.”

Nah, there are always those who care about right and wrong. It’s an individual thing, not a group thing. You’re just hanging with the wrong crowd.

AND
“As for people on a bus or train they can use a transporters provided wi-fi signal to utilize mobile data or wait for the frequent stops the vessels make anyway.”

Yep, you can make everybody on a bus or boat or in a taxi dependent on some techno fix to your “solution”. Of course, your solution would also make it possible for the captain, pilot or cabbie to bypass your proposed solution. Better to just hold offenders accountable.

AND
“We educate people on drinking and driving everyday but yet people do it.”

Yes some do. They should be punished. You shouldn’t take away all cars so they can’t possibly do it.

AND
“Educating people on the dangers isn’t helping our problem.”

It may have helped.
Some may have realized it is wrong and stopped.
Having law enforcement hasn’t ended all lawlessness but that doesn’t mean we should just abandon it or decide it just isn’t ruthless enough.

Let me make it clear-er! The cell phone providers need to program phones that turn off mobile data while the phone is moving down the road. You can still make phone calls but can’t send texts or emails.

People in general don’t care about morals or ethics anymore. That generation is long gone. There isn’t a text or message that simply cannot wait until the bus stops, you catch a red traffic light, or simply pull over. As for people on a bus or train they can use a transporters provided wi-fi signal to utilize mobile data or wait for the frequent stops the vessels make anyway. We have went decades and even centuries without communication during transit.

We educate people on drinking and driving everyday but yet people do it. Maybe we could come up with a way that will prohibit a vehicles starter to engage if the driver blows over the limit into a breathalyzer…oh wait…

Educating people on the dangers isn’t helping our problem.

So you believe passengers on a bus, train, in a car should not be able to use their cell phones?

Seems extreme.

I wonder if simply educating people regarding the dangers and then holding them personally responsible for any damage they do while distracted driving might be more moral and/or ethical. That way it won’t matter what they did to be distracted; they are just held accountable for their actions while using a multi-ton machine around other people.

Seems like they have no problem installing black boxes that would allow Big Brother to watch every move you make and everywhere you go .
