I FULLY AGREE that if a driver is distracted, it can lead to accidents.
I don't mind if JPJ bans DVD players in cars IF:
1. JPJ bans radio, because it is also distracting
2. JPJ bans air freshener, because the strong smell is also distracting
3. JPJ bans leather seats because leather absorbs a lot of heat and it is very uncomfortable to drive
4. JPJ bans rear-view mirror and side-view mirrors because so we don't have to take our eyes off the front to check the rear and both sides (many don't use mirrors anyway...)
5. JPJ bans reverse sensor because the beep-beep-beep is very noisy and we may run over young children without noticing
6. JPJ bans touch and go and also smart tag because we have to take one hand off our steering to use it
7. JPJ bans toll plazas because we have to slow down and some people cut queue at toll plazas, resulting in distractions that cause accidents
8. JPJ bans traffic lights because many people run the red lights and if we just observe the light colours, we may be distracted and crash into someone else who is running the red lights
9. JPJ bans road signs because road signs in Malaysia are so damn confusing because every road can lead you to Petaling Jaya, Kuala Lumpur, Ipoh, Shah Alam and Johor if you are in Klang Valley.
10. JPJ bans all road diversions because a driver can get confused and end up getting distracted and get into an accident
11. JPJ bans sun glasses because it is "eye-tinting" and you can't see properly
12. JPJ bans themselves and also the police from setting up road blocks because you can get distracted by thinking how to avoid kena saman or how to avoid giving bribes and then end up in an accident at road blocks
12. JPJ bans all VIPs or VVIPs or VVVVVVVVVVVVVVIPs from using the road because they always have police escorts and the drivers are distracted by the sirens and flashing blue lights and outriders waving their hands like mad (why can 1 VIP distract hundreds of road users and not be banned?)
13. JPJ bans all billboards because drivers may look at the advertisements
14. JPJ bans all speed cameras because drivers have to slow down and speed up and slow down and speed up and slow down and speed up...
15. JPJ bans trees, flowers, shrubs and other landscapes that are beautiful because a driver may look at them and get distracted
16. JPJ bans all birds from flying at all roads
17. JPJ bans all cats and dogs because strays sometimes cross the roads and causes accidents
18. JPJ bans your boss from being in the same car with you because you can get distracted
19. JPJ bans all nagging bf/gf/husband/wife/father/mother/sister/brother because they are FUCKING distracting as back seat drivers
20. JPJ bans all car wash, especially polish, because a shiny car is very distracting to other road users
yea... ban everything la... :stupid:
