Won't this make it worse as people will be holding their devices lower and thus taking their eyes off the road longer? Simple thing, you need to be good at multitasking, you just can't look down at certain times, and you can't look down too long.

It's really pretty simple..

If it were that damn important, it wouldn't be a freakin' TEXT

I think its more about boredom than importance. When youre used to texting any time you have a free moment you get that same urge when youre "idle" in a car.

Im against laws like this.

Legislating common sense. Again.

How about reaching down for a CD or french fry that you dropped? Seems to me that is more dangerous than texting.

Easy on my droid. Youd just have to read the date/time (officer compares time he aw you txt/reading) and see if the message backgound is white or off white. If its off white that means i read it.

Not if you delete the message. Or what if you were reading a message you got yesterday and there were no messages sent around the time he saw you reading one?

Some phones will let you mark a message "not read" again too. But the droid doesn't seem to let you do that (I have one too).

All times are GMT -4. The time now is 10:19 PM.
