How about banning talking on the phone as well. These laws are fine and dandy, but for them to work they need to be enforced and the fines need to be stricter. They have similar laws in other states, but no one obeys them becasue the fines are small and they are rarely enforced.

Just another law that wont be enforced. What a waste of time. The only time it can be enforced is when theres an accident involved. Whats goin to happen when your pulled over for texting. The cop can't take your phone and start searching through it to see if you sent a text. Thats unlawful.

This is UNENFORCEABLE as written. All a violator needs to say is they were dialing a phone number, not texting. We need an enforceable no-texting law!

Needs to be a law for talking on the phone period, I'm tired of the accidents and the stupidity from all these people talking on the cell phone, they obliviously don't have the time to drive and are worse than drunks here's my solution

1st offense: 1 year to talk on your phone without the car

2nd offense: 5 years

3rd Life, your too busy to own a car enjoy your phone.

Daily Horoscope for December 23

Pisces

Someone is in a very boisterous mood today, and you may want to make yourself scarce after a short spell in their company. Their idea of a joke may be your idea of extreme rudeness, or they could take pleasure in being argumentative just for the sake of it. Don't let this person wind you up or you'll go off pop through sheer tension.
