I think we have enough laws on the books.

I'm not a fan of legislating common sense.

That said, I support this law 150%.

I wish they could/would make it a primary offense.

I don't see what text is sooo important that it needs to be sent while driving rather than waiting until one reaches their destination.

If it were that damn important, it wouldn't be a freakin' TEXT

I think its more about boredom than importance. When youre used to texting any time you have a free moment you get that same urge when youre "idle" in a car.

Im against laws like this.

why the fuck cant it just be a federal level law, and not a state levl thing, AND a primary offense?

I already vowed the next dipshit I saw while I was on a bike thats texting and driving, I'm yanking their phone from their hand and throwing it into traffic.

Apparently this never happened?

I am curious how you can prove someone read a text at a precise moment in their vehicle while traveling down the road. It probably appears exactly the same as any other distraction to the outside observer.

Easy on my droid. Youd just have to read the date/time (officer compares time he aw you txt/reading) and see if the message backgound is white or off white. If its off white that means i read it.
