Family suing Apple over not restricting the use of FaceTime at Highway Speeds
-
Typical blame culture without taking responsibility of using the technology correctly. It annoys me with some parents moaning how their children can see adult themed videos on facebook and google but don't supervise their own children using the internet.

Saw this on news last night. I agree Apple probably shouldn't be getting sued. They are providing a piece of tech, people need to learn to use it proper. However, distracted driving is a huge problem. In fact it is more dangerous than drunk driving.
The only way to stop it is to impound offender's vehicle for a month, suspend their license for a month, first offense. Making someone sit on a bus for hours a day smelling the outcasts of humanity will make them think twice about texting/videophoning and driving. Then if it is still a problem they can put those dumbasses in prison like they do for multiple dui offenders. -
Maybe a good counter-suit will help.

Make them suffer for their idiocy. Stupidity should be painful.

When you have an easily abused court system, there is no need for personal accountability.

Very. The US legal system makes it too easy for any lawsuit to be to the benefit of the aggressor regardless of who is at fault. Instead of being a shield, US law is too often a weapon.
