No Texting Law

[Bigdaddy]

another reason for police to pull you over, write you tickets...
i dont text, but i think its bull that you can get pulled over for it, what if you are looking for a phone number & you get pulled over, i think its a great way for big brother to keep an eye on us... i wont be using my phone while driving...
they get enough moneys from us already

As I said above, I dont text, easier to call IMO
I think texting is stupid and texting while driving is just plain stupid. (like drinking & driving)
someday people will figure that its faster/safer to call than to text


please post if you get pulled over for texting or the police think your texting,
it just seems to me ,the law has bigger crimes to fight,
whats our world coming to?   Big Brother is watchin you text & what you text...

all it's gonna do is mess with ppl looking up phone numbers when their driving, the ppl that text and drive are still gonna do it, as said already it's just big brother trying to take more control

id have to say i disagree. im happy the texting ban has come out. i think they should make talking on the phone illegal while driving too. i pass so many ppl while they are talking on the phone. when you talking on the phone and driving, you cant concentrate on what you should be doing, which is driving. i think it will make the roads safer, even tho ppl are still going to do it anyways. i hope ppl that text on their phone when driving get a fukin ticket. i have enuf anxiety issues, i dont need someone in front of me texting and swervin and , cause they cant pull over for 5 fukin minutes to make a call. the road is to be driven on, not a telecommunications area.

i agree, the whole cell phone should be illegal to use while driving, how does a policeman know if you are texting or lookin for a phone# that u are trying to call,
i hate talking on the phone when im driving,I don't mind 2 way tho

the state police already issued a statement saying they dont know how to enforce it.  they aren't going to pull you over for it (SUPPOSEDLY) unless they are ABSOLUTELY certain you are texting.  its legal to text at stop lights too.  as long as the car isnt moving.  oh and if they ask for your phone you dont have to show it to them.  its just to deter people from being stupid and running others off the road.

I agree that using a cell phone in any way while driving is wrong, I think most of us can agree with that, I just don't feel they should be creating what is basically an unenforceable law, it really should be a common sense thing, I guess I feel if a person is talking on a cell while driving and they cause an accident or are in an accident themself and anyone else is hurt than it should be a crime, lack of common sense alone should not be a crime, although I am sure there are those who will disagree with me on that also,  lol  .

[Hammerlane]

This is a "feel good law"  the cops can't really enforce it.. unless they blatantly catch you.
however, if your involved in an accident you can be sure the lawyers will be all over it.

I dont text, for that matter i dont have a cell phone. but i think that texting while driving is like getting drunk and driving, still all over the place. i have road with a couple people that where texting while driving one almost got T-Boned on my side..

[BIG DOG]

IT MAY SLOW SOME DOWN BUT GO WITH THE FLOW   I'M NOT A TEXT PERSON AT ALL   

[Ranger Dave]

this  is  crazy.  theres so many laws  now  they don't enforce.   whats  one  more. 
texing  is over the top.  you  should  be  keeping you  eyes on the road. not a  keybord.
i can drive  and  talk on my phone,  put it on sperker phone.  no differnt  than a  CB.

[bubba]

i heard that if they pull u over for texting u dont have to give them your phone so how can they prove that u were texting or not tough to enforce. i still believe if u want to text or talk pull over to the side of road or parking lot and do it

just to let you know that there is a law on the book the only people that can legally talk on the phone are doctors and lawers while driving for every one sles it is a fine and 2 points. it is not inforced because of the amout of people that own phones and the fact that they never know who they are ticketing

[RIP_K52007]

i dont think it should be ILLEGAL i think people just need some common sense! Every time the Federal government steps in on our lives is one more step away from freedom. Doesnt matter what its for.

The lack of common sense is the reason for the laws...

[RIP_K52007]

true. I just get pissed when ppl tell me what to do.

I think it is about time to have a ban on texting while driving.  Texting usually requires two hands, so you are then driving with your knee as well as not paying attention to the road.

As for talking while driving?  I have no issues with that.  You can talk to the person next to you while driving right?  Not really much different except you actually hold the phone and drive with one hand.  I bet that a lot of the people that are against talking on the phone while driving will still go to McDonalds and munch on fries or a burger while driving and talking to the person next to them
