So, awhile ago I wrote about how California was enacting a new law where you can’t talk on your cell phone while driving and now you can extend that to texting while driving as well. I have found lately that driving is so boring that texting becomes something to amuse myself as my attention span has gotten so short. I am thinking that this is not a good thing and am actually happy about this new law. I saw an article the other day that questioned whether accidents had actually been reduced as a result of people refraining from talking on their cell phone. As of the moment, there doesn’t seem to be any major data showing any type of conclusive result.
I, however, am happy about this new law. Mainly because I feel as if I should be able to sit in my car and just drive, rather than feel the impulsive need to communicate with someone every five seconds. But, it sure was fun while it lasted.
Happy 2009!
Let's make the law entertaining, shall we?
