We should also ban people talking to their passengers.
- tzs 10y agoTalking to passengers is not the same as talking to someone on a phone when it comes to distraction, because passengers are in the car with you. The conversation with a passenger adjusts to take into account driving conditions.
- Glide 10y agoI remember there were recommendations for new teen drivers to not have passengers.
- nommm-nommm 10y agoNot only recommendations but actual laws banning teen drivers from having some number of passengers under 21 or some such.
- scelerat 10y agoWe do, for professional drivers. Next time you're on a bus, look around; there's usually a sign saying something like "please don't make conversation with the driver." This isn't because municipalities want their drivers to be lonely! It is because carrying on a conversation while driving is distracting.
