I agree.
Also, you are right, of course about all the other dangers.
I live only a few minutes away from work now so it is solved.
But, again, cell phones make for the most dangerous driving of all. Most people wouldn't read a paperback novel while driving but see no problem with reading text on a cell phone.

Dreadful. I'm an excessive case: I prefer not even talking when driving, except real small talk that doesn't even involve my brains (and often I snap at my motor-mouth GF cause she's distracting me) and if I don't have long trips I keep the radio off.

Yes and driving can be a relaxing, enjoyable activity, if you not looking at your cell phone every 11 seconds.

Yes, phones are killers on the road.
Right now, I manage 20 miles in about 1 hour and change; by the end of the month I hope to have a small apartment about four blocks away from my work.
I have seen four lane changers, thread the needlers (cross across all lanes of traffic from one side of the street to the other), stop light stalkers (they stop car lengths from the light, then creep up on it - I guess they hope to surprise it) and drivers with the reflexes of dead turtles.
I wish I was back in Alaska, where driving was fun and all you worried about was the occasional moose or rock slide....

Yes, I've noticed those a lot too. So annoying. Also, have you noticed then that the cell phone zombies are indignant when you <beep beep> nicely?
They don't like to be broken out of their trance.

Try to prove it...
1 - 1 + 1 - 1 + 1 - 1 + 1 - 1 ... (and goes for the infinity) = 1/2

If I remember correctly, it has something to do with the way that sums/series work when dealing with infinities. I don't remember exactly how it reduces, but I remember my mind being moderately blown the first time it was explained to me.
Now, my attempt, as I think about right now, would be to reduce it to an infinite series of the sum of one minus one:
(1 - 1) + (1 - 1) + (1 - 1) + ....
Which would of course reduce to 0 + 0 + 0 + ... = 0...
I know this is wrong (because I've not correctly applied whatever rule leads to the 1/2 answer,) but from a straightforward idiot's logic approach, it makes sense.

Let S = 1 - 1 + 1 - 1 + 1..., then 1 - S = 1 - (1 - 1 + 1 - 1 + 1...). This simplifies to 1 - S = 1 - 1 + 1 - 1 + 1.... This means 1 - S = S which is simplified to 1 = 2S and finally S = 1/2.
|
|
|
|
|
Or
S = (1 - 1) + (1 - 1) + ... = 0
S = 1 - (1 - 1) - (1 - 1) - ... = 1
2S = 1
S = 1/2

The traditional - and entirely wrong  - approach is:
G = 1 - 1 + 1 - 1 + ...
1 - G = 1 - (1 - 1 + 1 - 1 + ...)
= 1 - 1 + 1 - 1 + 1 - ...
= G
1 = 2G
1 / 2 = G
The correct answer is that the series doesn't have a sum in any meaningful sense.
Or, for the quantum-minded, the sum is both 0 and 1 at the same time.

Ya, thanks indeed!
