Proof positive that the Legislature doesn't give a shite about lowering car insurance rates by making highways safer.
SB 3818 tort deform is just free money for the insurance companies.
Follow the money from insurance companies to legislators' campaign funds, first laundered through PACs.

Not sure the issue here. It's already illegal in certain states.

This was obviously going to get killed. Lawmakers arent passing laws that affect themselves

how many fricking laws do we need?

If you’re not Bluetoothing by now anyway, you’re in the Stone Age.

Good. Using a phone is no different than a hands free speaker system yet one is pushed and the other is criminalized. I drive with one hand anyways.

If it's law more people will obey the law, and it will rob the Ambulance Chasers an opportunity to sue the shite out of someone for negligence caused by someone on the phone while driving.

Fortunately following the 10th Amendment is more important than lowering car insurance rates. Though, given the Democrat majority in the House and their compulsion to control every aspect of everyone's life I'm surprised this didn't pass.

Not all cars have that capability. You would be banning some people from being able to use a phone in the car.

You think this is why this legislation is being introduced? I bet if you look closely, law enforcement is the engine behind this. Just another reason to be able to pull you over and seize your property.

My car didn’t have the capability.
I had the capability installed. No excuse.
Not commenting either way on the legislation itself. But the Bluetooth technology is relatively inexpensive. And if you’re not using it, you’re backing up.

As opposed to the funding for the judges? That is a little humorous, all that money for judges and then the judges get cut down from $50k to $5k.
Lammo isn’t a play on your last name, is it?

Judges get just as much campaign money from insurance companies as they do from plaintiff lawyers.
And no.
And no.
