Georgia texting law now a primary offense

[tjsahara00]

According to that statement a simple fix would be to put the car in park. I mean, its not like your going anywhere.

Some cops are a POS. This seems like good example.

Being in park, but drunk while the car is cranked, can still get you an award for driving under the influence.

 I don't think that plan will work out.

It don't even have to be running to get a DUI
at least it didn't back in 1980 anyway
Dropped off one girl and went by a place I used to
work waiting on another girl, passed out (I mean fell asleep)
in parking lot. Got woke up by the cops...I reached and
tried to start the truck up. Hauled in and went .14 on the
breath thing. Went to court told Judge I was just sitting there
and he said boy you got there some how didn't you? Guilty

when you get in your car just turn the phone off, open the glove box and toss it in.  texting problem solved.    some of us older guys grew up with out cell phones, u had to wait till you arrived, or stopped for gas to call on a phone.  just follow that rule, and no texting fine.

As someone who lost a really close friend in college to someone who was Drunk, and Texting and driving... I have no opposition to this. If it saves a life, its worth the whole thing.

Also... not saying we need to be like the EU, but over in Switzerland they have pull offs on the highway labeled for "Texting and Talking." They have parking spots lined (like you would see in town). So you can pull over, do what you need. Then drive away. Safely.

They also have drive through prostitution cul de sacs, with "modified car washes" at the end where you pull up - pick the chick and drive to do the dirty. So maybe their whole driving situation is better than ours. Haha.

I saw a sign or article or something that said NO TEXTING AND DRIVING and it also said "includes stopped at traffic lights".

Uhg, that bugs me.  People sitting at light after it turns green doing whatever they are doing on their phone.  Not saying they should get a ticket, but common pay attention.

It's a perfect time to validate the horn functions.

It's times like these when I wish I had one of those loud ass air horns and that's when I would use it. Would love to see the reaction.

I'm one of those old guys and I agree. I look at drive time as a break from text/email/etc.  I'm still old school. If it's that important, pick up the damn phone and call me.  We can have actual verbal communication.

Texting while driving:  evidently a near capital offense.

Kent driving a manual transmission Jeep, lighting a cigar, changing CB channels and fiddling with music of some kind... totally OK! //LOL//
