You mean politicians actually passed a thoroughly meaningless law just to make themselves look good, caring and strong?? Well that’s just TOO hard to believe!
It’s not meaningless. Texting while driving IS dangerous and SHOULD be banned. But people don’t think they way this article wants them to, when was the last time you were going to do something then remembered it was illegal so you didn’t? Probably never. If people worked like that we wouldn’t need jails, because once a law got passed it would never be broken. In reality with real humans laws exist to punish those that break them, to correct behavior, not prevent it.
Just a minute. I’m much more alert when I make calls on my cell. We have a law against holding the phone and I have increased my looking out for the highway patrol.
