>>Pennsylvania is in the process of passing a law making texting while driving a primary offense, meaning a police officer can stop you for that in itself<<
We don’t need a law. We need parents with a lick of common sense. Don’t give the kid a 2 ton machine that can kill them and a phone that can text.
I have an emergency phone in the car. I have all passwords on phones and computers. I monitor what they do. When they begin to drive I will tell them, no texting. If they do, I pull the car.
You’re one of the few, I’m afraid.
Is a new law needed? Of course not. Having said that, the kids that we baby boomers are raising *DO* have that sense of entitlement, it’s taught to them from the day they enter kindergarten. I’m old school, cell phones are necessary ONLY when you’re in a jam. Walk through any store in this state and you’ll see adult women jabbering away about nothing in particular, oblivious to their surroundings, and have any of you been in a checkout line behind one? They will say to the employee, “I have to take this call”. It’s rude and they are teaching their kids the same thing.
Just my opinion.
