"Talking while driving is now a primary offense, meaning officers can pull you over for holding your cell phone to your ear. For the first time, texting while driving is also banned."
Okay, so, "did that get your attention?" That paragraph is from last year in New Jersey. After a few, actually every, day(s) of driving around central Florida, I realized that this is precisely what we need here.
Now, YOU know me, "I do not subscribe to the "big brother" mentality of law enforcement and over regulation of traffic laws etc. Which, regardless of what they tell YOU, are nothing more than easy money grabs for the state, county or whatever jurisdiction. Like all the states with their mickey mouse seatbelt laws because they want to save lives. (Throw up here if YOU see fit) Also states like Arizona with speed cameras all over the place to catch speeders. What, do they think they are the gestapo or some kind of communist military state? IT"S A FREAKING MONEY GRAB!
However, I do think that the cell phone law is on point for two reasons. It actually targets an offense that is severely hindering traffic and, helps the budgets of the ticket writing agencies instead of them writing "bogus" traffic violations and seatbelt infractions that are NOT screwing up traffic. In other words, "YOU want a money grab, here is one that IS justified in todays environment."
It is time to get busy, state legislators, and quit worrying about whether we are wearing our freaking seatbelts, and address a REAL TRAFFIC ISSUE!
