Yacky-yack

I heard from a bunch of folks via e-mail back when I posted on a bill that would restricted cell phone use while driving. To sum up the comments:

  • there was a large vocal group who thought this was great idea and ready and willing to share stories of bad driving prompted by cell phone use.
  • there was an equally large group who thought it was silly that the government was trying to ban cell phones, especially when the charge might be kind of hard to prove.

    Well, all you talking drivers, it turns out y'all don't have anything to worry about... except maybe that tractor trailer you just cut off.

    The bill died in committee today. The legislature won't be able to raise it again until at least 2007.
