[Delaware just bans texting for teens and new drivers. If that doesn’t apply to you, you are on your own.]

See, in Texas, the law states that you must operate your vehicle in a safe and attentive manner at all times. It is illegal to have “distractions” within the view of the driver. So, if your GF or BF strip naked within your eye sight, and you drive like an idiot because of it, you are breaking the law. If you put a TV, laptop, phone, etc... within your view, then you are breaking the law!

The Texas legislation only has a session every other year, and this year they spent that precious little time discussing and passing a law against something that is already illegal. State law requires “extra-attention” in construction and school zones, but some liberal judge said, that’s too vague, what does “extra-attention” mean. This wasn’t because the police officer said, I don’t have enough to give them a ticket, it was because the defendant’s lawyer got up there and used some mumbo-jumbo lawyer-ese to convince this judge that other people were not being prosecuted for not applying “extra-attention” so he shouldn’t be held accountable for his actions!

Just like ALL liberals, it’s not about me, it’s about everyone else! It is NEVER their fault. I am hot under the collar, because my dollars are spent on stupid things that are already illegal. My money is spent on people who aren’t smart enough to wipe their own butts, and when I complain that person stinks, I AM being hurtful and causing “harm” to the stinking idiot!!

Again, this madness HAS to stop or we will find ourselves in a very dire way: revolution? communism? socialism? civil war? We really are heading down the road to one of these locations, and NONE of them are good!

I’m really sorry about what you went through in the courts. Now you know why I got out of the legal profession entirely. Too much banging of one’s head against the wall. You don’t have to tell me Judges are idiots. The word “fair” or even “justice” just never seems to occur to any of them, it’s all touchy-feely, whatever is convenient, deal-making compromise. Sick!

There is another legal term for that, it's called "exercising due diligence"! Sorry but that Judge was looking for a loophole and he found one, because the idiot legislators put it there for him.

At least in Delaware law, definitions are clearly defined, which helps.
