With all the technology in this world, they could make a phone that would not text in a moving vehicle. $30.00 will not deter anything-----teenagers spend more than that for popcorn and a movie. Let common sense prevail. So if this is all the legislatures can do, they may as well go home! With all the technology in this world, they could make a phone that would not text in a moving vehicle.

What a joke." Oh, I don't know.... Most people wouldn't send a text message while driving if they thought it would cost them $30. The idea is not to break them but to break them from bad and dangerous behavior. Part of that is spelling out what is considered bad. David for knowing CONSIDERING:
“$30 fine. What a joke.”

What a joke. Make it $500 first time, $1000 second, then maybe. I was almost hit by a texting idiot a few years ago. I see some lawyers advertising to help recover from texting drivers causing accidents. $30 fine. What a joke.

We can talk to our cars, they can drive themselves,stop themselves etc. etc. But you cant stop the texting ?? What gives?

Or, it could encourage someone to not text while sitting at a stop light in front of me. Texting while driving is dumb and dangerous.

Driving is not a rite it is a privilege, and should not be a secondary function when behind the wheel. Remember your family wants you home safely and the person you may send to the morgue wants them home safely too. Well thats my rant for now hope everyone has a safe and happy thanksgiving!

Just joking, which is what the $30 fine is, a joke! Some kids these days think life is just a video game and they don't wake up, until they plough into someone. I don't know how we can reach some of these kids and unfortunately when Murphy's law comes into play; it's usually someone else, who gets hurt in the crash. niknak – excellent text, hope you weren’t driving.
