Lazy is such an ugly word, I prefer to call it selective participation
Doing your best is much more important than being the best.
Bee: Do people who are completely deaf drive? Really?
Bung: "A new study from the Monash University Accident Research Center now confirms the risks parents have known anecdotally for years.
Driving with children isn’t just slightly more dangerous; it’s a full 12 times more dangerous, according to the study."
Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
mattwnz: A few days this was discussed on TV when they were talking about people using mobiles when driving, I can't remember if it was fairgo or seven sharp.Anyway, they say listening to an ipod with headphones is legal. However anything that causes a distraction, such as eating cereal in your car while driving, could be considered dangerous driving, which you can get fined for. I don't know noise being blocked is a problem, as they allow deaf people to drive, and they can't hear anything at all.

Damn!
So by that math I'm in more danger by driving with my kids than wearing 'phones?
Also, they aren't noise cancelling, and don't cut either the kids issues or the traffic noises out, just add "distractive" spoken info to help me deal with "robot no.1" playing incessantly on the stereo...

vexxxboy: there is no law in NZ that says driving while wearing headphones is illegal, it's just not recommended.

Thanks for explaining "plethora".
It means a lot.

Thanks for a clear, unemotional response!
