Once again the fed is getting into our "cockpits" and trying to dictate to us. Virginia recently passed a law, 1 July, which prohibited texting while driving. Here is my deal. IS texting while driving any more dangerous then eating a cheese burger while driving, tuning the radio and drinking coffee while driving. Or worse yet, turning around to smack your kid while driving?? How about to government enforce to law that already on the books, like tailgating, speeding, reckless driving.
§ 46.2-852. Reckless driving; general rule.
"Irrespective of the maximum speeds permitted by law, any person who drives a vehicle on any highway recklessly or at a speed or in a manner so as to endanger the life, limb, or property of any person shall be guilty of reckless driving. "
Which also brings up DUI's. If you get one, you should get a special hot pink or hunter orange plate and a rotating amber warning light installed upon your car. Keep driving if your first offense, however be ready to be pulled over at any time for a breatholizer! Just a thought....
