    Yeah, but he didn't say the elderly have increased accidents rates or blah blah, he said that teens are comparable to elderly drivers which validates her point.

    Of course it's pointless anyway since it was on FauxNews and the regular viewers prolly thought he was an elitist liberal snot who should just leave the nice lady alone and give in to what she has to say.

          Actually my point was, which I regret I didn't make as clear as I could have, was that teens using cell phones while driving had reaction times comparable to senior citizens without cell phones. Clearly showing that a teen without a cell phone was much better than the average senior citizen.

          She and the host sadly missed that point, and I didn't get enough time to clarify.


          But thanks for the play by play John.

          I had another strong point I wanted to make, but didn't get the chance to. Namely that the only reason we are discussing a cell phone ban for teens, and not seniors (who are just as, if not more dangerous) is that seniors vote, youth can't (because of the voting age). So politicians can pick on teens because they can't at all fight back. That would really have underlined the whole argument, but I didn't get a chance. Oh well, it still went well.

            I was gonna ask why not everyone but you just explained. Sounds like you done good- although what were the stats the lady quoted?

                % of teenagers causing accidents vs. adults while using cellphones in both groups, IIRC. The teenagers were much higher, of course, but there are so many variables involved in this example that the effect of cell phones can't be measured, nor can any increase in % of accidents with teenagers as a control group vs. adults when considering cell & non-cell phone use.

                    I believe that the % of teenagers causing accidents would be higher period, just due to lack of expereince or lack of fear... regardless of cell phone usage.

                      A point the moderator quickly brought up, although lack of fear wasn't mentioned.

                              Is there a transcript?

                              PS. I get JohnT and OzzyKP's avatars confused because they both have babies. For a second until I read the name I thought, "wait, wtf is Ozzy doing posting here while he was in the interview!!?"
