I went into one of these last year; instantly lost my appetite because it smelled like a toilet. I'll give it a chance, but I'm skeptical.

The only vandalism I employ is writing MUTE with sharpie on these things when I find them.

I never got butthurt over 'muh statehood', and never had to resort to insults. Missouri could be better, but it's not the hellhole you make it out to be. Go gaslight someone else you tool. Welcome to Reddit, you belong here.

>you don't need to cause an accident to get a ticket for that

But your whole argument is that Missouri doesn't have laws for this. If you can be ticketed for using a phone, not just texting, and not causing an accident; then it would seem Missouri does have laws for this..

The graph you link refered specifically to texting while driving, nothing else; you keep changing the goalpost from texting, to all phone use, to distracted driving.

We're in the 4% for distraction, yet in the 40% for accidents. Means we're 10x better drivers than we statistically should be despite being distracted. See, I can use mashed up statistics to fit my narrative to.

Texting is cell phone use, but not all cell phone use is texting. That's what you originally cited. You can be charged with texting and driving in Missouri if you cause an accident.

You specifically stated 'cellphone use', yet the map you supplied refers to texting while driving laws. Those states not in red allow cell phone use other than texting while driving.

That stat is totally incorrect. It is legal in 25 states. Things could always be better, but you make it sound like hell's asshole. Like I said, we improved 6 positions in 2 years. I would like to see stricter traffic law enforcement, so I think we can at least agree on that.

Missouri isn't near the top of the list on accidents and fatality rates: 20th, down from 14th a few years ago. I've driven in multiple states this year and seen many that were just as bad if not worse. This problem of driving in the left lane or using a phone while driving is not endemic to Missouri. Your anger toward an entire state of unrelated people seems misplaced.

You want people to be considerate of your driving, but you're not being considerate of others. We all move at different speeds in life. Try spending more time in public spaces like airports, waiting is just part of travel.

You realize that's not how it works right? The law applies only to roads over 60mph.

I listened to Garth Brooks on Spotify at home all night and had a great time singing along. Mass entertainment is still a big mess.
