Anderson’s texting while driving bill passes
February 7th, 2013
Del. Anderson is to be commended for getting this important piece of legislation headed towards becoming a law. One question–Is it against the law to do the myriad of other things people manage to do on cell phones while driving? Angry birds, paying your bills, etc can be just as distracting. I can see the defense now being that the driver was playing Words with Friends and not texting. I hope there are stop gaps so this cannot happen.

No opinion? Good for Del. Anderson. This bill is long over-due
I’m glad this might become a primary offense.
I am too. Maybe people will see the seriousness of what they are doing. Mr. Howler told me that if you take your eyes off the road for 4 seconds going down 66 you have traveled more than the distance of a football field.
