especially in the black neighborhoods... It seems like we should be eliminating these kind of harassment laws, not adding them

Are they going to pass laws against eating while driving? Or fidgeting wity something while driving? Or anything else that might cause any type of distraction? The texting while driving law is enough and probably totally ineffective anyway. How is talking on the phone while driving any different than talking to passengers while driving?

There are no limits on the places we can use guns?

Try harder next time, fella.

I don't think you can use a gun while driving. Outside of maybe some specific circumstances.

Would rather a bill to prevent makeup application while in the driver’s seat.

For cops also, are they allowed?

Apparently handsfree calling would still be OK.

No one is stopping you. You just need to be hands free.

Yes, cops will still be allowed to text while driving. But you won't be able to see them through their dark tinted windows.

This bill will save countless lives while convincing countless mothers that their precious babies are dead face-down in a ditch because they didn't answer their cell phone immediately while driving.

Do you support it or not?

It's not the bill that's the issue. It's enforcement of the bill. Texting is illegal while driving out here. I passed at least 6 people texting this morning on the interstate. So, I don't really think a new bill is going to solve the problem.

You should think about this a little more and get back to us.

We have hands free here. Is fine with me. Don't know how or how much it is being enforced.

Well considering it was just yesterday a girl pulled out right in front of me only for me to look over and see her looking at her cell phone, I’d say I’m pro this law.

Another useless law that will only be enforced when they want to pull people for DWI
