They're trying to pass this new law in MA, too.

We just got that law last thursday. If a cop even sees a phone anywhere but in one of those hands free thingies, you can get a ticket. Even if you're not talking or texting on it.

Don't know what their gonna do about the chicks who do their makeup, or guys who do paperwork and sit on laptops while driving.

Every time I travel to the cities all I see in every car is people with a cig in one hand, cellphone in the other. Yes, their cars drive themselves.

Tools.

TEWLZ.

Yeah it has been a law here for a while, but it is only a secondary offense. So they can't pull you over for only texting a driving.. they have to pull you over for something else and then ticket you for that.

They can pull you over for it here, and it's a $100 fine.

I guess I should've posted this somewhere else as not a joke so I could've gotten my "reply" award

It's illegal here as well. And I so nearly had 2 cars on separate occasions smash in to me at the speed of light from the back when I could clearly see they were texting!!

Bob, you should ask a mod to maybe move this for you!

lol, I think there was already a discussion before. I was just trying to make a joke at first, haha.

My problem is when you're driving and see cops on their phones too. It's like, isn't that illegal? ha
