Driver Who Runs Red Light While Watching Video Game Complains
from the suck-it-up dept
No one takes responsibility for their own actions any more. A guy (whose father runs a driving school, of all things) is upset that he lost his license for a year, has to pay a small fine and has to do community service after he ran a red light while watching a video game demo on a screen installed on his dash. First off, a video game demo? At least most people caught watching video while driving are watching TV or a DVD. A video game demo? People actually watch those things? While driving? But, more importantly, why the hell is this guy complaining? He didn't get punished that badly and he ran a red light. He's now complaining that it's more difficult for him to do his job. Well, maybe he shouldn't have been watching a video game demo on his dashboard and running red lights.

Mr. Mike,
Have you considered changing the tone of this site to be less angry? You might attract more replies per article. The irreverent, antisocial culture of ITers can make that a challenge, but who can shine through it all?

Re: Mr. Mike,
Maybe you not coming here and shitting all over intelligent posts would help, too.

Re: Mr. Mike,
Or will there be fewer anonymous cowards that come here with their one-liners? Can techdirt spawn techflowers?

Re: Mr. Mike,
Does not the fire need the water too? Does not the mountain need the storm? Does not your scrotum need kicking?

Re: Mr. Mike,
Keep going about mountains and storms, it sounds better than shit and scrotums.

Re: Mr. Mike,
Would there be sufficient grounds for anger if the guy killed a little 7 year old girl walking to school?

Re: Mr. Mike,
I thought that was the point of a troll, to get responses :)

Re: Mr. Mike,
Step away from the computer.
Get a life! All of you!

Re: Mr. Mike,
Hmmmmm...
In most situations the people who spend time telling other people to get a life are more in need of a life themselves ;)
Geez, get a grip. Dorpus is a troll, at times he's entertaining, never quite relevant, but never at a loss for words (I think he buys them at a discount outlet somewhere)
And me? I'm killing a few minutes with my morning coffee.
