Looks like you’ll be getting one anyway. Hang up, fool!

I’m learning to text with my toes!

Must be Oregon (new law 1/1/10)

Unenforced law in Ct. They are still texting while they run over the pregnant grandma pushing a baby carriage.

Pregnant grandmas in CT?

as long as the vehicle is in motion or on a roadway and not parked , texting while driving is a traffic offense

in the past 6 months there have been at least 10 accidents caused primarily by texting including several fatalities

Wasn’t there already a law that covers texting while driving? I’m thinking Inattentive Driving covers texting and a whole lot of other things.

yeah, this sucks, I am making tons of typos now… this attentive driving thing is a huge distraction from my texting

Pennsylvania should ban cell phone use while driving too.

It’s not “natural selection” when a 17 year old girl too busy texting to stop at a red light killed my co-worker last month

battycomic I agree!

Lewreader, the craziest drivers I ever saw in my life, worse than Mexico, was on the Conn. interstate!

I would love to see all cell phone use by the driver banned in every state. The only exception is if you were talking to 911 while following a impaired driver to get them off the road.

txt while driving= very bad. txt while walking fine, how much damage can you do to others while walking. hospital good. txt all you want in your hospital bed.

Ya, just like my state. They’ll do anything but GET OFF THE PHONE!

Much safer.
