Senators Seek Ban on Texting While Driving
- ygvucoqwv 17y agoWhen you're a lawyer every problem looks like a new law. The UK tried this, first they banned talking on a 'cellular telephone' so as not to ban taxi or police radios. But this didn't cover texting, so another 3years of parlimentary debate they added texting - but this didn't cover email or IM. Meanwhile the original 'cellullar telephone' law didn't cover skype or other IP calls - or the laywers weren't sure that it would in court. So back to parliament to redefine 'cellular telephone' and 'call'. Of course there is a perfectly good law about dangerous driving...
