    - Its the law that you drive in the first lane and only use the 2nd for passing, no seriously, and you loose a point on your DL live test if you drive - designated zeitgeist Dec 29, 10:13 1
      - Around here it seems like the 2nd lane is for people talking on their cellphones and driving slower. -- nm - Spawn Dec 29, 10:16

    - just being facetious.... they're trying to regulate "good" driving and don't realize they're dealing with idiots to begin with. -- nm - CrankYanker Dec 29, 10:09 6

- Oh? but the signs say "No text messaging Jan 1st". I thought it was just that one day. - CrankYanker Dec 29, 10:01
- It's pretty sad that this explicitly needs to be made law. -- nm - Don Homer Dec 29, 10:00 28

  - If it banned talking as well, I would think it wasa good thing. -- nm - Spawn Dec 29, 10:03 19
    - We already have a law for that :-) -- nm - con_carne Dec 29, 10:05
    - Talking is bad...but texting requires you to take your eyes off the road...so is MUCH worse -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Dec 29, 10:04 17
      - I disagree. Just this morning a truck ran a light as I was driving Logan to school. And of course, he was talking on his phone. - Spawn Dec 29, 10:06 16
        
        First, I don't talk on the phone while driving, and agree that it is dangerous, but while they are distracted, they at least are looking usually - The Calico Cat Coalition Dec 29, 10:09 14
        
        I avoid both, but I disagree becuase people concentrate on the back-and-forth of a conversation and lose focus on driving. - Spawn Dec 29, 10:13 1
        
        But involves reading -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Dec 29, 10:23
        
        I would just as soon ban the use of any electronic communications device while driving. - znufrii Dec 29, 10:09 11
        
        I agree...luckily since I commute with Mrs. CCC 9 times out of 10, she can answer my phone - The Calico Cat Coalition Dec 29, 10:11
        
        And radios? -- nm - Don Homer Dec 29, 10:10 9
        
        only if you're playing the music loud enough to be heard outside the car. -- nm - znufrii Dec 29, 10:11 8
        
        You silly. This is so... arbitrary :-/ -- nm - con_carne Dec 29, 10:13 2
        
        actually, no. Not being able to hear what is going on outside your car is a potential safety issue. - znufrii Dec 29, 10:15 1
        
        But it can be that loud and not heard from outside of the car. -- nm - Spawn Dec 29, 10:19
        
        I can't stand the jagoffs who have car subwoofers turned so loud that you can feel the vibrations in your house 100s of ft away. -- nm - Don Homer Dec 29, 10:12 4

Who do you think has had the better career, Tom Brady or Peyton Manning? - David Dec 29, 09:41 37
- I dislike the Pats, so I would probably assume my bias and say Manning. But I'm curious about your answer.. (NM) - Marlowe Dec 29, 09:56 6
  - David's answer is Peyton, I'm sure. -- nm - Don Homer Dec 29, 09:58 5
    - Peyton Manning is the best QB I've ever seen. -- nm - David Dec 29, 10:16 2
      - But, has he had the better career? (NM) - Marlowe Dec 29, 10:18 1
        
        yes, he has. have the partriots had more team success than the colts in that time, yes. individually peyton has been beyond better -- nm - dogbert183 Dec 29, 10:22
    - naw, its probably vick. -- nm - tRuMaN Dec 29, 09:59 1
      - No. - Spawn Dec 29, 10:02
- peyton. - tRuMaN Dec 29, 09:53
- Brady. Guy came from out of nowhere and who knows how long he'd be holding a clipboard if Bledsoe never got hurt. -- nm - Tim Dec 29, 09:52 6
  - so, is brady a better qb than warner? - tRuMaN Dec 29, 09:55 5
    - The two plays in those Rams' playbooks were "handoff to Faulk" and "everybody go long." -- nm - Tim Dec 29, 09:57 2
      - as opposed to last years, long to moss, or short to everyone else - tRuMaN Dec 29, 09:59 1
        
        don't forget to run up the score against teams that are beat just for the record books. if peyton and the colts would have done the same in 2004 where - dogbert183 Dec 29, 10:02
    - sounds more like then warner would be better than peyton -- nm - dogbert183 Dec 29, 09:56 1
      - no, I think peyton is better. but - tRuMaN Dec 29, 09:57
- peyton -- nm - dogbert183 Dec 29, 09:45
- Bradys career has been Montana-esque. -- nm - budice Dec 29, 09:45
- Brady -- nm - Inigo Dec 29, 09:44
- brady, tho if the colts were to win the superbowl this year it'd be a wash -- nm - prayformojo Dec 29, 09:44 15
  - I still say superbowl wins for quarterbacks is way too overrated. it's a team win, not just the qb's. could peyton have been taking snaps for the - dogbert183 Dec 29, 09:51 13
    - peyton as qb of the patriots would have been a scary thing - tRuMaN Dec 29, 09:55 12
      - I seriously doubt they would have won any more with Peyton. - Inigo Dec 29, 10:04 10
        
        besides his rookie year, what season would peyton have been average? and besides last year what season would brady have been considered exceptional? - dogbert183 Dec 29, 10:11 3
        
        You're drinking some crazy juice if you believe Harrison and Wayne aren't exceptional receivers on their own. - Inigo Dec 29, 10:17 2
        
        wow, talk about crazy juice. -- nm - dogbert183 Dec 29, 10:18 1
        
        sfek: peyton average is better than almost anyone ever -- nm - dogbert183 Dec 29, 10:20
        
        the question is, if you took peyton and brady, and had them play the - tRuMaN Dec 29, 10:09 5
        
        Brady, since he's used to figuring out a way to win with a patchwork offense. - Inigo Dec 29, 10:13 4
        
        I think the opposite is true - tRuMaN Dec 29, 10:15 2
        
        Only one of these QBs has succeeded with average offensive talent around him. - Inigo Dec 29, 10:20 1
        
        true yes, but I think the system in ne, and the defense, gave brady that chance. - tRuMaN Dec 29, 10:23
        
        couldn't disagree more. -- nm - dogbert183 Dec 29, 10:14
      - Which I don't think was the original question.. (NM) - Marlowe Dec 29, 10:01
  - Yeah, even Brady's engagement can not trump that. -- nm - Spawn Dec 29, 09:44
