The cops on site told me they will try that in the future  |
Awesome!
On the thread topic... I think if you can talk and/or text and/or do your taxes while driving then so be it. I hate MORE laws.
However, if you are caught by a cop having such actions affect your driving or if you cause an accident by doing such, you should be held accountable to the degree of what you did, neglagence at the least. If you were texting and killed a person you should be held up for manslaughter or maybe murder 2 or 3.
My opinion is based on my hatred for more laws restricting us as free adults. Further, as a driver that gets numerous annual training at work for driving alone. I could probably do my taxes on my cell phone and still drive better than the average out here on the roads.
However, I know there is no happy medium for all of us... and realize that the masses will probably win here and they'll start making some stupid laws with cell phones and driving.
