I don't want my wife and kids endangers by some mothertexter who isn't intelligent enough to know the king's English much less being able to text and drive. Besides, most of the folks I see doing it look like low-grade morons anyway. Either that or folks that think that the laws don't apply to them. (It's illegal in Billings, don't know about Missoula.)
In light of those sobering statistics I think the penalties for using a phone while driving should be the same for DUI, heavy fines, maybe a night in jail. It should have an effect on your insurance and the ability to keep your license. The commercials say a DUI ends up costing around $10,000. A lot of accidents are caused by morons on the phone so the penalties should be the same as DUI. Rock on PR.
No eating or drinking in the car soon either. To distracting. And don't forget talking, eventually that too will be to distracting. As a matter fact, just get rid of all the passengers, and no music...we can't have you singing along with the tunes. Pets? Nope.....they need to be tied to the roof. No preening yourself either, so that upcoming date, well since she is distracting, you don't need to smell good anyway.
Time to come into the future Oredigger...
Texting and driving should be illegal and heavily fined.... Living in Dallas i literally see multiple wrecks a day due to texting and driving.
No asshat should be able to get away with putting my life or my family's lives in danger just for a freaking personal text for some bullshit in their lives.
I think its hard for people living in states like Montana to understand because its obvious..we have plenty of space and open roads...most get away with it, doesn't mean it should be legal.
They just made it Illegal in freaking TEXAS....if TEXAS is willing to take away personal freedoms for the greater safety of the community every where else damn sure should be doing it lol.
