The Case for Banning Short Skirts

By: Contributor · August 1, 2010 · Filed Under Humour · 1 Comment 

We’re well into 9-months into the cell phone ban for Ontario drivers, even though we know that hands-free phones are also risky.

The Telegraph reports that our riskiest behaviours may have nothing to do with phones at all:

The latest statistics show that 29 per cent of men admitted being distracted by short skirts and low-cut tops in the Summer weather, leading to record numbers of accidents on the roads.

And according to car insurance company Sheilas’ Wheels, the summer smash phenomenon is getting worse each year – in 2009 men made 16.4 per cent more claims during the Summer than in any other month.

    I love this story. I think it’s hilarious. Why ban cell phones when you can still eat and drive, or drink hot coffee? It makes no sense.
