Sure it might curb some distractions from some drivers, but this is just another way to raise funds by the government. Same thing with the new plates/registrations.
At least they can’t stop me JUST for texting. I’m not worried. I’m very aware of what’s going on ESPECIALLY when I’m texting, so I should be good.
Also, this begs the question…how are they going to prove you were texting? I guess you could show you weren’t (or they could show you were) based on your phone bill…but I know my phone bill doesn’t show texting. Is this going to be something added to phone bills now you think?
“Safety advocates said it’s a weak law, but some legislators said they would consider changing the law to a primary violation – meaning a driver could be pulled over for it alone – if the new measure doesn’t prove enough of a deterrent.”
In other words, if they don’t make enough money, they’ll make it a primary offense. lol.
I thought I read somewhere that the new plates thing was being pushed off for the time being. I thought I heard that on Capital News 9 if I remember correctly.
