I thought this was the end?

So you legislate to the lowest common denominator? Have you not given up enough freedom to this very, exact thing? You can't legislate common sense. It's a slippery slope. This country is anything but free anymore, and those like you that are all too willing to give up freedom because something annoys you, are the reason why. If I voted to outlaw everything that annoyed me, I'd be the only person left on this planet.

It is this bullshit mentality that is ruining this country. The government is supposed to protect everyone from everything. Government regulation of every kind is what is wrong with this country.

No, I already said above that it shouldn't be a law, just a common sense that you don't use a phone and try to drive at the same time. If people would just use that common sense, then a law wouldn't be in place.

People have not been using common sense for 300 years in this country and we have got along just fine. I think that is the point.

And God said, "Let there be light"; and there was light. "

I was texting at the same time.

Why should their inabilities strip you of your right to call someone when driving? What happens if you're waiting on a call from your wife for an emergency, etc? Ever use your phone for navigation? With or without this law those same people can still be pulled over and ticketed. Failure to maintain a lane is against the law. Driving too close behind someone is against the law. Speeding, and running stop lights are both against the law. See what we're saying here? The current law does not prevent any of these idiots from getting tickets. But, this law does allow them to ticket you from driving your vehicle within all these constraints.

As I said, I am not paranoid enough to care. I know people in DC, MD and NY and not once have they been pulled over and ticketed for allegedly using their cell phones in an illegal manner.

Just because you've never seen something, doesn't mean it doesn't happen. I've never seen an LEO actually help someone, but that doesn't mean they don't. You see how ignorant that is?

Just because YOU can't talk and drive doesn't mean that someone smarter than you can't.

"I can talk/text and multitask because my office is in my car. I'm just driving! I'm smrt!" You see how ignorant that is?
I see dumb fucks on their cell phones all the time. Every day in traffic. You see someone failing to keep up with the rest of traffic up or clumsily swerving, sure enough, it's dumbfuck on a cell phone. When coming up on an intersection and you stop, then creep for 20 cars. Sure enough it's dumbfuck who has no sense of perception because they're pecking away on a cell phone, but they're smrt!
The number one cause of crashes is not speed or drunk driving, but inattentiveness. That means, dumbfuck on a cell phone. It's not just annoying. Dumbfucks on a cell phone are also a hazard.

Then let's outlaw Middle Easterners, Asians, women, and Hispanics. They are a hazard too. Some people are hazardous drivers with or without cell phones. I've never once caused an accident, ran someone off the rpad, etc. I maintain awareness and my lane. Get over it, you sniveling bitch.

Oh there's no need to get that butt hurt. Of course you are going to say your senses are keen as everyone elses not using a cell phone. It's what dumbfuck on a cell phone does. They deny being a dumbfuck and continue on with their practice. I see it every day. Dumbfuck on a cell phone doing dumbfuck things because they feel what they have to do is far more important than maintaining their lane.
The differences is there are those who cannot drive. There are those who drive just fine, but once they become dumbfuck on a cell phone then they are worse than any race mentioned.
Say, aren't you the dumbfuck who made a bet with another dumbfuck and got burnt? Yeah, typical dumbfuck on a cellphone common sense...
