DWT "Driving while texting" WSJ

 

[George P Burdell]

How will they prove you were texting? Take pictures of you while you're driving?

 

[everman]

pending bills would provide fines -- up to $720 in one of them -- for any driver caught texting, or holding a cellphone to an ear.

What about eating food? Even talking to someone sitting in the seat next to you is distracting, will they fine us for that too? Shouldn't smoking be banned too?... You see where this is going.

Yah, and they'd have to be right up next to the window -- which would have to be open in some cases-- to even see people text since a lot of people do it low.

To people paying attention to where they are driving? Oh god the horrors.

Do any phones have an option to read text messages or emails aloud, so they are audible?

If not, they should.

 

[Tremulant]

I've texted while driving before, but it's always been in bumper-to-bumper traffic when I'm not moving.

It?s really too bad that we need to legislate commonsense

My last girlfriend would always log into her PDA while driving while I was at work.

I'd be talking and she'd say once in awhile "haha, I just passed a buggy!" (They drive with horse and buggy sometimes in the country)

I'd just be like "Talk to me whenever you get where you're going, I don't need you in an accident."

She'd say "There is nobody on the road, its ok!"

I'd respond "You just passed a buggy! Talk to you later"

Anyways, I thought she was an idiot for doing so.

Sometimes she say "Its snowing and the roads are slippery, I'll have TTYL so I can concentrate on driving."

Yesterday morning, I nearly got mowed over by a girl in an SUV because she was yawning and didn't see me. While I jumped out of the way, the curb was not so lucky.

 

[Mrfrog840]

T9 ftw


I can drive and not even look at my phone

 

[Jahee]

Just the fact its illegal will deter some people from doing it...

Yea!! Lets make it a crime to drive with one hand on the wheel too. Hell, lets make it a law that you have to drive with your hands at 10 and 2!! No passengers either, thats distracting too.

 

[deerslayer]

I've watched people read books while driving down the road. Maybe the DMV needs to stop handing out driver's licenses like they are toilet paper.

 

[Zekial]

i wish they would put this into law where i live. it bugs me to no end to see someone smoking and chatting on the damn phone while driving. you want to chat on the phone... pull over or go home.

 

[lokiju]

Yea for more laws!
