Texting While Driving The Budget
Senator Steven Baddour, the Senate chair of the Legislature’s Joint Committee on Transportation was recently quoted “This generation clearly doesn’t get it. It’s not the same as talking on a cell phone.”, while discussing the Senate’s reasoning for including a “budget” amendment that would ban writing and reading text messages while behind the wheel. Well guess “what’s up” Mr. Senator, you and your colleagues “clearly don’t get it” because talking on the cell phone IS the same thing as texting. Sure, we can all go through the semantics by stating that you obviously have to look away from the “task at hand”, driving, in order to text, but let’s be realistic they’re both distractions. Quite frankly, the Senator’s quote is the best argument yet, for NOT imposing a ban at all.
