Blah blah blah. I haven’t seen the slightest reduction in people on their phones while driving.
Stephen, I agree. Theirs not enough police to ticket the distracted drivers I see everyday which is staggering. Police writing tickets is not the answer and I don’t know what is, but it needs to stop. Every time I see someone crossing the center line, going into the shoulder or sitting at a green light and not moving, you always see them looking down at their phone and it’s a daily occurrence, not some occasional thing.
I have seen ZERO PEOPLE pulled over for this law. Sure I glance at my phone and answer calls on speak phone but I never text or SnapChat while driving. I see people texting and driving everyday.
Big difference between texting and talking on cellphone. Statute sounds like talking on the cellphone if you have to hold it is now illegal. That will be hard on those with older cars or broken radios!
“is *now* illegal”? IIRC, it’s been illegal for some time…ditto for even having it in your hand. I stopped for an accident the other day and told the driver who was hit to not swap driver info & leave because I’d willingly stay until the cop came to state I watched the other driver cause the accident while they were texting with their cell phone. The other driver was a bit (actually, more than a bit) upset but it was *their* fault.
Personal accountability always takes precedence over personal freedom. This penalty is still too soft……
