Dear TTPS: cellphone drivers

[bluesclues]

Please charge ppl driving and using cellphone pls. If yuh driving and yuh see them pls stop them at least and tell them to get off the fone. I see this daily and every time they are almost causing accidents not realising how they CANNOT MULTITASK. It's not a multitasking thing. It is an impossibility thing. One CANNOT maintain the necessary focus on the road whilst perfrming a resource draining activity like talking on the phone. This applies also to women who think they are big multitaskers... learn to drive first. But still.. do not talk on the fone while driving with the phone in your hand. DO NOT.

[daring dragoon]

how can the police charge people for something they themselves do.
You see police in plain clothes driving a marked police vehicle and talking on a cell phone.
I know they are allowed to not wear seat belt cause it reduces their response time. but they
not supposed to be driving a marked vehicle while not in uniform,
they suppose to stay off the cell phone,
they not suppose to be on the bus route,
they not suppose to drive with cracked windshield,
they not suppose to rob foreign business men or anyone while using a marked vehicle,
they only have to use siren while in an emergency and not to get out of traffic,
they not suppose to drive down the shoulder to get out of traffic,
they suppose to take a report and give you a receipt at any police station and not turn you away to one closer in your area.
They suppose to solve crime and not take your report and then go make cook in the station and forget about you
they suppose to patrol they area and not have about 5 -10 vehicles in a station sometimes whole day and still say no vehicles
they suppose to apprehend suspects and not shoot to kill little black boys

How can one that is entrusted to uphold the law and protect and serve with pride do so when they themselves dont know what it means to uphold the law?

Would you feel better if they drive in uniform while driving and unmarked police vehicle
not supposed to be driving a marked vehicle while not in uniform,
Is a Detective suppose to put on uniform before driving a police vehicle
they suppose to stay off the cell phone,
How would they be able to respond faster to an emergency
they not suppose to be on the bus route,
See above
they only have to use siren while in an emergency and not to get out of traffic,
So the office should stay in traffic while responding to an emergency
they not suppose to drive down the shoulder to get out of traffic,
See above

[ismithx]

excellent points.

however is too much for them to get a bluetooth headset? Both hands on the wheel - faster response time

[Reddis]

^^^ Agreed

[uncle sam]

meh... I doing whatever d hell I want. Who vex diaz dem problem. You focus on the road not on me

[Average]

Many will disagree but I'll still say it.

You CAN talk on a cellphone and drive. Yes ppl, it is possible...........for a PORTION of us.

What is happening here is that given the law, those who choose to actually hold their cellphones up to their ears are caught between :
1. taking a chance
2. multitasking

Here is the difference, before the law came into place, a portion of drivers were able to drive and use their phones with ease, even text. Now, mind you there is no statistic to prove that accidents before the law came into place were caused by avid use of cellphones while driving.
With the law, there is the added stress of "ducking" the police and receiving a ticket. So the user now has to work harder and in some cases end up putting down some real dotish drives.
That's one case, there are others who simply don't care about police or tickets.

That's how I see it.
Also, for those coming at me with digital cutlass and big stone .....I hook up my cell to my my deck, i can't afford any tickets

like some ppl doh watch beyond d tape

policemen ARE ALLOWED to talk on their cellphones & NOT wear belts .......

i mean them bread buttered, nobody aint brave enof to go around d man with the straw hat and one of the host of d tv6 crime show as they know how far them men reach is into the belly of the beast, they know why football men were executed an what message was sent and men fraid dat. If the police cud talk on cell phone and whatever and allyuh want to accept it cause the man in the tv say so go tru. Police feel they have too much power daz y they committing big crimes in marked vehicles in uniform and getting ketch like fools. The might have permission to drive and talk on cell phones, drive on shoulder, drive with siren on tuh beat traffic to go in d bar but they just a human body, one accident cause they distracted on the phone, or cause they speeding and they dead just like any other human, dey forget its a paper xtrail or cruze they driving. so again they dotish and feel they can do what they want but god dont sleep.I see enof police make accident and end up paralyze or other serious injury and all they get is money.

When i say get a copy of the law, i meant dont take dem word for it, doh be dotish and believe dem, read it your self. I see a post about police in uniform and i didnt see any thing about the operational wear in the act, but it cud be an amendment i dont have. just dont take a police word for anything.

U might say this but i suspect he is correct and that is still one of the slated official uniforms. He also pointed out that presidential and ministerial guards dont wear standard uniform but if they direct you in traffic u have to listen or u collect some bullet lol. White tunic wearer and thinking again, ent the horse riding police does wear blue short pants and grey shirt still?
