I could get a dashcam without a screen, i'm sure that would prevent that happening. Most people hide their dashcams behind the rear-view mirror though, so usually you can't even access the screen.

Screen or no screen you are prohibited from using electronic devices in your vehicle if you're under the age of 18 and if you get caught you will lose your license. Trust me I'm a drivers license examiner and I know what I'm talking about. If you're under 18 you cannot have a dash cam.

All it would take is a police officer pulling up beside you at an intersection and seeing the light on the camera or anything showing that it's on and he can pull you over to get you and a judge will take your license.

My guess is you probably shouldn't ride the coasters in the theme park Terra Micca in Spain:

"The metal cage opened and Andri plunged to the ground."

"Employees of the theme park were just running around in confusion and no emergency proceedings started."

"Directors of the amusement park have never contacted the family after the accident and the parents were never questioned by police."

I hate to ask for anything but I could use your help. A recent proposal by our Superintendent of Public Instruction to raise teacher pay by 10% was rejected by our NC Speaker of the House Tim Moore. As the husband of a teacher, I can tell you our seasoned teachers have only received two pay raises in the past decade while their benefits continue to decrease.

While studies differ a bit, for the most part they show North Carolina teacher pay clearly in the bottom 10% of pay and compensation across the nation.

I have started a petition to our NC legislators to raise teacher pay. If you agree with me, please sign and share my petition so maybe we can make a difference in the future of our children in the state of North Carolina.

Arby, I agree with you on the pay and have signed your petition. I also have two family members in the school system, one in Georgia and the other in Florida. I can tell you they aren't doing it to get rich. Kind of makes me wonder how the profits from the "education lottery" is truly broken up.
What if those in charge only got a small increase coupled with lower benefits over the last 10 years? How would they be coping? What taxes would they increase to get theirs?
I guess they don't understand that although we, the older generation, are part of the future, it is our responsibility as a whole to educate and motivate our younger generations for a better and more peaceful future.
And, that's just my 2 cents.

Is Deadpool better than it looks? I'm not a big superhero guy and from the trailers it just looked like they were trying too hard.

Not really sure how to answer this because I really enjoyed the movie, but with all the 4th wall breaks and jokes, it didn't take itself too seriously. It was almost parody-like. In a good way through and not a Superhero Movie or Epic Movie way.

This thread seems to be the place to share any sorta-interesting things you do. Here's this.

Took me 7 long hours and only 30 seconds to fall. So now if anyone was wondering if I didn't have a life you now know for sure. :wink:
