Poor people/older vehicles.

You don't have to answer the phone.

But what if you’re a passenger and/or need to call 911 for some reason?

I said block texting, not calling. Also, they could easily just say 911 gets an exemption. Can you even text 911?

And what did we do before texting? Geez people. You don't need to always been on your fricking phones.

I am sure more lives will be saved from not allowing texting in moving vehicles than would be lost from not being able to text 911 in moving vehicles

Ok so here is CatfishJohn's angry old man solution to young punks texting and driving:

- Block texts from phones moving over 30 mph
- Exception made for emergency numbers
- Require new vehicles to have bluetooth and voice to text functions

And worst case, you punks can use your phone to actually call someone from the passenger seat. And you know, talk to another human instead of texting.

Depending on which car stereo you have (I have a Kenwood), you can connect two different phones to it.

Can they also do this in public too? Because I really enjoy listening to Shanice’s friend’s story about how her baby daddy fricked that bitch from up the road on speakerphone while I’m pushing my three year old in the basket grocery shopping at Winn Dixie.

This will definitely stop people from using their phone while driving. They were only using their phones because the legislature previously allowed it.
