Personally, I would like to see a FEDERAL push to withhold all federal funding for states who do not pass Primary laws against distracted driving. It should be a primary offense, just like DWI. It should be strictly enforced. Licenses should be revoked on-the-spot! Device should be confiscated and the person should go immediately to jail.
How dare someone take my life in their hands without my permission. I know when I see it , and I see it often in Albuquerque. that is my first thought. How self important we are, how selfish we are, how arrogant we are to think we are above someone elses life just to use a phone or type into a miniature keyboard while you ar piloting a 5000 lb vehicle at 75 Mph. Where is our humanity? What happened to common sense?
We just had a case where a woman who was speeding, lost control of her vehicle and plowed over a man on a bicycle right in front of his wife and killed him. She was sentenced to 90 days in jail and her lawyers claimed it was "just an accident" Witnesses said she was far exceeding the speed limit and lost control of the vehicle. The worst part was watching her cry like a baby because she had to spend 90 whole days in jail. Not crying for the life she took or the pain she caused the survivng widow. Really?
That is where we are at today in our society folks. THIS WORLD NEEDS AN ENEMA!!!!!
