I understand the concept of a text for a life, but then what about all these other distractions? I personally think putting on your make up is worse. All this is, in my opinion, is another way for a cop to give out a ticket at his own regard. Claming he saw you texting while driving and there is nothing you can do about it.

I don't remember if it was just here in NY or a bunch of states, but I remember a senator or congressman wanting to make it illegal to smoke in cars for the same reasons as it being illegal to text and drive.

They tried passing that in the tri-state area to my knowledge . I'm unaware if it passed or not. It's stupid really. Next thing you know they will make a commercial of someone trying to beat a yellow light and the next thing you know they run someone over. Accidents happen, are there ways to prevent these accidents from happening? Maybe, but at exchange for what? Something I found very interesting is when Hurricane Sandy happened and a lot of the traffic and residential lights went out. The Jersey City area, had one of the lowest rates of car accidents ever. Maybe there should be less regulation and then people would pay more attention to the road. Just a thought.

Know your abilities.
