Dont worry.....once the next generations brains are rewired(and they will be)google/microsoft/government owned motor companies will have an answer......"smart cars"?
look out to the horizon, the present is almost antiquated now......
...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......
The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.
STOP BEING GOOD DEMOCRATS---STOP BEING GOOD REPUBLICANS--START BEING GOOD AMERICANS
Was really hoping one of the Gazetto "writers" would be the first shaken down.
Feel so much safer now that SS Savage has stopped this major crime problem of 20 year old girls texting? Yes-Schenectady County is a great place to live under her "leadership".
A Staten Island teenager fell into a manhole while texting BY CHRISTINA BOYLE DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITER Saturday, July 11th 2009, 4:00 AM
Driving while texting is illegal, but walking and texting is still legal.
A Staten Island teen trying to text while walking fell into an open manhole - and city officials have launched an investigation. Alexa Longueira, 15, was walking with a friend along Victory Blvd. on Wednesday when she suddenly dropped underground. "She's all scraped up on her back, under her arms and her shoulders," her mother, Kim Longueira, said. The schoolgirl had just been passed the phone by her friend and was opening it to send a text message when the ground beneath her feet disappeared. The manhole had been opened by a Department of Environmental Protection team flushing a high-pressure sewer line, officials said. DEP has said an investigation is underway. "We regret that this happened and wish the young woman a speedy recovery," spokeswoman Mercedes Padilla said.
The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out for himself, without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane and intolerable, and so, if he is romantic, he tries to change it. And even if he is not romantic personally he is apt to spread discontent among those who are. ~ H.L. Mencken
Riding a bike and texting and talking on a cell phone is still legal too! Guess we have to wait until someone gets hurt doing it before suzie jumps on that band wagon!
You know, Brian- he is just trying to push your buttons and you are letting him! He is chuckling all the way home thinking about how riled up he has you when he doesn't mean any of it. He is scorching you because you let him!!! LOL! Talk about a harmless fuzzball of a poster!!!!

I was struck by the dismissive nature of your July 2 editorial, “Texting while driving only part of problem.” Anyone who drives regularly can tell you they have at some time or other seen someone drive erratically due to texting while driving. The number of crashes and deaths directly and indirectly linked to texting while driving has necessitated action. As a parent of one teenaged driver (who, by the way is a very responsible driver) and two others waiting in the wings, I know how texts are continuously sent and received. I am happy that there is one little thing — fear of a ticket — to hopefully keep my sons and other drivers that much safer on the road. It is often hard to detect people who do not wear seat belts, children who are not properly in car seats, speeders, or even drunk drivers. We certainly cannot have cops on every corner at every moment catching every infraction. That said, they are dangerous behaviors that put lives at risk, and laws have been an important part of cutting each of these practices. The same goes for texting while driving. The clear logic of this led to nearunanimous support in the over-15 counties that have passed this ban. Editorials from across the state, including the Watertown Daily Times, Post-Standard and Buffalo News, among others, have agreed that the ban is a logical step to saving lives, not just an emotional flair as the recent Gazette editorial implied. In fact, [last] Sept. 15, even the Gazette stated that the text messagingwhile-driving ban was a “textbook care of a law that shouldn’t be necessary, but is.”
