Re: Washington State Bans Text Messaging While Driving
Quote:A major weakness in the Washington law is that it allows for enforcement of the no-texting-while-driving provision only when the driver has already committed another traffic offense... Why even bother having the law if it has huge loopholes like that. :
"Well, Jay was so giddy that someone named Jay was involved with this site we posted our first non-eBay listing in 3 years here at Lunarbid (we tried two items at Yahoo once upon a time, they bombed)" -Marie posting in a LunarBid thread at OTWA in 2005 wins the award for 'most moronic reason ever given for choosing a venue"

In the last few years, I've narrowly avoided at least 4 major accidents because people were on their cell phones while driving. Last year, I had an accident in late July, that nearly totaled my car. I was found not at fault. The other driver, in a commercial vehicle, was on her damn cell phone. This was in a busy area near the airport. Damn--- this topic really makes me angry. |
