Reply #13: It should always be illegal to drive while 1. Intoxicated and 2. Doing anything overly distracting

You shouldn't drive with animals on your lap.

You shouldn't drive while texting.

You shouldn't drive while talking on a hand held cell phone.

You shouldn't drive while masturbating (very often).

You shouldn't drive while doing anything that puts you at risk of losing the wheel or not paying attention to whats going on around you.

We all agree, I imagine, that driving while drunk is highly irreponsible. You are endangering the lives of others when you take that risk. Its illegal for a reason. The same idea goes for driving while doing something else that requires more than thoughtless changing of the radio station or carrying on a casual conversation with your passenger. People have and will end up getting killed over stupid, hairless ape behavior like this. Opposable thumbs are great to have. But you can still do really dumb shit with them.
