California Senate acts to ban text messaging for all drivers

California Senate acts to ban text messaging for all drivers
7/23/08
Quote:
In California, a bill that would prohibit adults from text messaging while driving is halfway through the statehouse.
The Senate voted 39-31 to approve a bill that was amended to add a provision that would ban so-called “texting” while at the wheel. Sponsored by Sen. Joe Simitian, D-Palo Alto, the measure – SB28 – now moves back to the Assembly for consideration of changes.
Pursuit of legislation to limit driver distractions is nothing new for Simitian. He authored the state’s hand-held cell phone restriction that took effect July 1.

Let's see, I'm on the phone to a receiver, eating a sandwich, shifting, avoiding the 4 wheelers, talking to the drivers behind me on the cb, listening to Road Dog or Outlaw Country.
I'm not distracted, I'm multi-tasking.
Another reason to leave the state of my birth.

Maybe it's the 4 wheelers who can't walk and chew gum at the same time who should be scrutinized, not truckers.

You might really have some truth here. I have seen 4 wheelers trying to look up numbers on their phone or texting going all over the road. I have also seen them looking up numbers in the phone book. It appears that some of them seem to forget they are in a moving vehicle.
