texting

So we have some Wisconsin State Legislators who this week introduced a bill that will ban YOUNG driver from texting while driving. This despite the fact that their already a bill working its way through the State Senate that would ban ALL drivers from texting.

The second on banning all makes a lot more sense. But it will only make sense if it written in a broad enough language that regulators can work with it in real life. Can not be written in such a way that says has words like cell phones ect ect. They need to be general enough so that whatever someone wants to call them they are the same thing, No e mailing no texting and whatevering. You need to be driving not writing or calling. Reading email or texts. If you have to have that kind of constant contact then you need to be rich enough to hire a driver or work out of your office or pull off the road.

I am enough of a libertarian that if you want to kill yourself go ahead and do it but do not drive in such a way that will kill me or others with your poor judgment.
