Do we need a new law for each and every little thing someone might do behind the wheel
that will cause them to break an already in existence law? Do we really need a law against kids in the car? Switching channels on the radio? Come on, if someone does any of these things and it causes them to drive recklessly, they should be pulled over and ticketed for reckless driving. NOT for..........oh say picking their nose.
You have a good point - that I don’t deny. There is a chance that if cell phone use while driving was illegal at the time we might not have been hit. Of course, there’s a chance they could’ve been doing something else that would’ve caused them to hit me. I don’t know. I do know there are plenty of hands-free devices that make cell phone use no different than talking while driving. Remember that “distracted driving” is against the law in most places. Citizens pay for those roads, and we expect some measure of safety. If you ask me, people who talk on their cell phones pose a far greater hazard than people driving 46 in a 40.
