There was. Maybe it's just because I'm younger than you guys or maybe it's because I'm in a different state or something, but when I went to the DMV I had to agree to either take a breath test or get my license suspended if I was pulled over and suspected of being drunk.

Colorado and Utah i know won't issue a license if you do not agree to take mandatory breath tests

Not really something they said but Some new Cadillacs have completely touchscreen controls on the dash, which basically means you have to take your eyes off the road to click the buttons since they have no tactile feel. if mobile phones, even hands-free is too distracting/dangerous, then obviously visual-only touchscreen buttons to control things in the actual car is a bad idea.

Reminds me of something that passes for "news" nowadays. A guy got arrested because an attractive lady walked past his car with a very short skirt and he looked. It was a distraction and you can't take your eyes off of the road for any cause. Seems like this makes a case for getting rid of all those distracting billboards and most of the distracting signage on the highways.

Belated question: is it okay to post stupid acts and rulings as well as stupid things people say? I seem to have already done that.

I work at a clothing store. Someone called while I was at work today, and after I said the name of the store and the motto that includes the word clothes, they wanted to know if we rented movies. It was the highlight of my day just because it was the most ridiculous thing to happen all day.

Most (MOST) of those people are probably just playing along

[MrWillsauce]

Also it's not like EVERY person they talked to was this dumb, they just only kept the clips with the most clueless people.

Why not? We do it all the time. See: Jaywalking with Jay Leno. (It's probably really the only pseudo-funny thing he does.)
