We should ban car radios. They:
- Can annoy others
- Can distract the driver with, e.g., tuning
- Can stimulate emotions that lead to unsafe driving
There is simply no excuse for allowing these dangerous devices to be used on our public roads. They have been forced upon us by the automobile industry, which must be compelled to do the right thing with appropriate legislation. Some may argue that they have the “right” to listen to whatever they want in their own cars, but there simply is no “right” to endanger others on the public highways. Ban car radios now!
It was with some relief that, after a cursory search of the web, I found no serious advocacy of this position. It can’t be far off, though.
