The Nanny-State meets a Revenue Opportunity.
I don’t undestand . . . don’t they WANT us to be awake while driving?
Why not just regulate how many breaths you have daily? Or how many times you can chew a stick of gum. This stuff is getting ridiculous.
It’s New Jersey, everything will be against the law eventually.
In New Jersey being a politician while breathing should be a criminal act.
I find the democrats distracting.
The convenience store lobby will never let this happen.
7-11, WaWa, Quick Check....
UNITE!!!
I hate articles that talk about a bill but never cite the bill ...
.....but driving while ILLEGALLY IN THE COUNTRY will retain non-punitive status.....
I didn’t believe it at first and then I saw that this was in New Jersey. I totally believed it then.
That state is absolutely horrible for all of it’s nanny government meddling.
But... you know what? It’s up to the citizens and tax-payers of New Jersey to clean up their mess. Just don’t be moving to other states and bring that mentality along with them.
WTF...?!
How is this legal?
If it’s “dangerous” to drink coffee while driving, how about drinking Coke? What if I take a bite of a cheeseburger? Is the fine doubled for a double cheeseburger?
New Jersey is an embarrassment to America, as usual.
Is it drinking the coffee or just having an ‘open container’?
Would this outlaw ordering coffee or food at a drive-thru? Maybe Mickey D’s would need drive-thru customers to sign a waiver stating they won’t consume any purchases until they are safely home?
“What about the automakers with their multifunction displays?”
No kidding. I yearn for the days when adjusting the heater meant moving a couple slide controls or turning a knob. Same with the radio, turn a couple knobs and punch some buttons.
My point is, back then you did not need to take your eyes off the road. Now it’s microscopic little multi function buttons with each manufacturer having totally different arrangements.
In the mean time, Clinton’s suits are made in China
Nothing stops a coffee drinker.
