Do they think we’re stupid? That is almost blatantly saying that if we don’t make enough money, we’ll make it a primary offense. Everyone and their mother knows that NYS is one of the most broke states in the country. yea because the law has nothing to do with any real problems Such as the car of 3 girls that died last year because the driver was texting her friends… Or the countless fender benders/hit and runs are cause when people look down at their cellphones for a quick second and dont see the person i nfront of them slammin gtheir breaks or someone crossing the road :crazy --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/new-york-state-wide-ban-on-texting-while-driving/248054)._
