Joe Simitian (D-Palo Alto) would make driving while >holding a cellphone an infraction starting in 2008. Typical gvt nannyism. Recent studies that were PROPERLY done, which is a rarity, show cell phone use is no worse a distraction then any number of other things people regularly do while they are driving. If our stupid gvt wanted to be consistent it should outlaw doing ANYTHING while driving, no listening to the radio, no eating, no brushing your teeth, no looking at maps, and of course, it would mean that for the POLICE they would not be able to use their radio or computer while driving - if they needed to use either they would pull over and stop first. But we know the hypocrite ****heads in power will never see the hypocrisy of having cops routinely violating the same law they would be pulling people over for. Kinda like speeding, it's a terrible thing, unless a cop does it of course. Or shooting someone in the back, if a citizen does it they are screwed, if a cop does it who the hell cares. |
