No Texting or Gaming While Driving in Honolulu
Honolulu City Council votes to ban texting while driving | HonoluluAdvertiser.com | The Honolulu Advertiser
I do agree with one of the councilors that it will be really hard to try to enforce a law like this. I think they should just of went with a broader ban on cellphones while driving. I know in Newfoundland and Labrador it is illegal to use a hand-held cell phone while driving. Fines can range from $45 to $180. Jam it back in, in the dark. |
How is it unenforceable? If a cop sees you sending or reading a text when you're driving they pull you over and fine you, rule enforced, job done. That's like saying a speed limit is unenforceable because you'll only ever get caught if a policeman sees you doing it. In fact, that applies to fucking hundreds of laws. Pissing in the street is illegal too and despite the pretty high odds of not getting caught red handed doing it, people still get fined and as such, fewer people piss in the streets these days.
That said, sending a text while driving is fucking easy. I'm sure many of you here can touch type right? Well a phone only has nine buttons so it's even easier. I can send a text without looking and I'm sure most people here who actually use a mobile phone can too. Reading one is where it gets dangerous but no more so than using a sat-nav in my opinion. That said, a mate of mine did once question whether I was trying to do too many things at once as I was changing gear round a corner whilst tuning the radio with my phone under my chin and a fag hanging out of my mouth. Smoking, phoning, steering, changing gear and tuning a radio all at once and people say men can't multitask. And before you ask, I had already turned into the corner before I went to change gear and was holding the wheel steady with my knees. There's nowhere I can't reach. |
Unfortunately or fortunately the rest of humanity is not as blessed as you are, good living~
This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
It seems a little backwards to me that they'd make texting illegal before the use of a cell phone without a hands-free device. If both laws were in place, a cop sees a phone out in a driver's hand and that'd be all he'd need. I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |
This is a pretty reasonable law, I dunno what the controversy is.
Most amazing jew boots |
The controversy is that people want to be able to play Crisis Core on the PSP while driving to grandma's luau without THE MAN all up in their grill, so they don't want any of this "law" malarkey getting in the way.
What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |
There's nothing more meta than playing Gran Turismo while driving.
FELIPE NO |
What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
Jam it back in, in the dark. |
