Washington Bans Text Messaging While Driving
Jul 3rd, 2007 by Baz L
I meant to mention this some time back, but I lost track of it. Washington is now the first state to ban text messaging while driving. While I understand the premise of this, I have to wonder, why do we need another unenforceable law? Really a cop pulls me over for texting? How does he prove this? Talking on the cell phone is hard enough to enforce, but at least a cop can see the phone. How is a cop, minding his own business, going to see someone texting under his steering wheel?
And when you do get pulled over, you say you were turning the phone off, or your were looking for a number. Oh well, I guess it’s time to think up some excuses.
