texting while driving

How much longer will this be ignored?

A person was killed here the other day because someone who was texting slammed into her vehicle.

I'm telling you...........this **** is MUCH worse than driving under the influence.....but where is the legislation?????

I mean....****..........HOW THE HELL CAN YOU DRIVE WHEN YOU ARE WRITING MESSAGES ON A PHONE??????????

I have been involved in close calls because some **** was texting instead of driving.

Why hasn't law enforcement addressed this????????????

All cell phones (I belive) come with GPS. One way to stop this crap from happening is to program ALL cell phones that, if they are going above 10 MPH SOG, they don't work. The calling, texting, etc. would stop.

The cell phone companies would fight this though because people would stop buying them.

^Thats dumb!

^what if you're running away from a psycho and trying to call the police and the phone shuts off?

or sittin' on a train?

Then i wouldnt be able to text while i drive!

"^what if you’re running away from a psycho and trying to call the police and the phone shuts off?"

That's where CCW would come in handy.

As far as the train situation is concerned, you got me there. I don't ride the train.

NINE!

^ No ten MPH but looking at that again, the minimum speed on most roads is 35 MPH so set the GPS for that. Is that better?

^whatever

oopsy 11 for 9

I want to text at 70! Its my damn phone!

trainnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnz

what about the traaaaaaaaaainnnnnnnnzzzzzzzzzzzz?

okay, I am useless for serious conversation

The police chief of Federal Way, just South of Seattle, recently caused a minor accident when he was TWD. Despite TWD being illegal in Washington, he's apparently not yet been cited for the infraction.

I don't understand why you would need to make a phone call from a train, or from any moving vehicle for that matter. Am I the only person that pulls over to the side of the road when my cell phone rings?

Believe it or not, LEO's are exempt from the cell phone ban in NJ.

it was a joke, surfish

and if I was on a train and not driving it, I would like to be able to use my phone 😛

if you're running from a psycho at 10mph you probably won't run very far anyway. If on a train just put the phone in "I am on a train" mode

welcome to cali...

its 'illegal' although i dont know how exactly you can prove that. whats next, illegal driving with coffee? so you must argue you have cocoa instead of coffe?
