Uh No I didn't. I put in bold this part afterward.
Of course I do not believe or support this. Nor do I support Nanny State Laws. Sometimes people think it's just peachy too take things away things from others because they themselves have no use for it.
I just had to use guns to put it in terms you might possibly understand. We as a nation are well on the way to living in a police state as subjects no longer a free people. Each day either a lawmaker or a state or federal agency thinks they need yet another deeper intrusion and control over our lives. Sad too say some in FR cheer them on.
The solution to those who can not use a cell and drive safely is very simple. Cite them for reckless driving if they are not driving right. No new laws needed. BTW LEO's are very heavy users of both cell phones while driving and radios while driving.
You can bet they will be exempt just as they are driving patrol cars too work at 20 MPH over the posted speed limit. You may enjoy government micromanaging every aspect of your life others however do not.
BTW just curious ever see a Honda Accord hit a 78 Chevy K-5 Blazer before at about 15-20 MPH? The Honda will have to be towed off likely totaled & the Chevy can be driven and if hit in the rear will not even have a dent in the bumper. I know because my last accident many years ago before cell phones involved a Honda rear ending my Blazer when I stopped for a stale {meaning had been so for several seconds} red light and the Honda driver behind me didn't. Car designs are killing kids and adults. The government is distracting you and others from that fact with it's cell phone campaign.
Cell phone users have been found to be 5.36 times more likely to get in an accident than undistracted drivers.... Other studies have shown the risk is about the same as for drivers with a 0.08 blood-alcohol level.
