Basic traffic laws and driving etiquette clearly do not apply in a town where the people seem to operate in their own little bubble, completely unaware or dismissive of others on the road. Call it what you will: self-entitlement, negligence, malaise, ignorance. My goal? To have mandatory driving tests randomly issued where drivers are eligible for selection after 6 years. Consider this jury duty for the road.

Can I look at google maps while driving? If the answer is no, are GPS systems included because they are essentially the same thing. Am I allowed to use my cellphones mapping software?

I did wonder, as a deaf driver, whether any exemptions existed. Clearly not. Cool. It's not like it's easy to type out a text message on my iPhone anyway. But that's sensible. No need to have a whack of people trying to get out of a ticket by claiming they're deaf and needed to send/read a text message or e-mail. Ooo-thanks for that information.
