Ban mirrors too, I've never been able to look forward and backwards at the same time.

We could make open containers illegal too and set a limit on alcohol levels, that will eliminate drunk driving incidents.

You've never broke the speed limit or driven with a buzz have you?

You typed all that to say what...that texting while driving doesn't kill? If so...you are lost, pal.

You sound pretty liberal. More laws and trying to hush my point of view in an open forum?

They do ticket for those items. It's called careless operations.

Yeah, I already said...I got that!! I never claimed that texting will solve all the highway mishaps, but, it will certainly lessen them. Like Corey said...accidents involving texting are seldom fender-benders. I saw the pickup that was driven head-on into by a woman that admitted in court that she was sending a text message and "I guess I just lost control". The best friend I've ever had was killed instantly in that crash. So, yeah...I am sorta ainti-cell phone!!!!!!!!!!

as soon as jindal signs it any thing other than talking on the phone will be a ticket.
the popo would stop someone for texting and all they had to say was. i was checking my e mail or on FB. No more. Cant wait till the pull me over for using my GPS

I'm all for it, Bob, but I doubt it'll be inforced.

Had a 4-car pile-up right here in Bugtussle last Saturday because of texting. Luckily, nobody was going very fast. The police carted that dude's azz off up the skreet.

There's always gonna be people who disagree on an issue..


Saw lcpd "texting" while driving his police car...or he could been browsing the web. Could have been doing anything on his phone.


How are you gonna prove someone is texting?

Oh and that new fangled technology where you can speak into the phone and it converts to words, and will read them! Oh shiz

It's silly to impose laws that can't be enforced on the entire population based on a few worst case scenarios.

They do write tickets for careless operation, but there is no quantifiable evidence showing that it does anything to prevent people from doing it or that it's makes the roads any safer.

These laws just make people feel like they saved someone and goes warm fuzzies to those who support them. I feel the same way about implementing laws like this as I do about gun control after 20 people of the 300 million in our country are killed. Realistically, ticketing cell phone users will do nothing for our safety...

And excuse the typos, I'm driving.

Except make people look at the flashing lights of the person pulled over and get into a wreck themselves.


Rubbernecking should be a ticketable offense while driving.

People will be looking for cops so they can hide their phone too, nobody will ever look at the road again!
