Distracted Driving

While I am all for the recent law passed here in Maine prohibiting cell phone use other than talking while operating a motor vehicle, I had to break it yesterday.

If it had caused an accident I would have felt horrible, but I didn't really think of it as distracted driving, because I picked up my camera phone very intentionally and carefully to snap one quick shot.

I believe the law is looking for those carrying on text conversations, or glued to their e-mail while cruising down the highway.

Hard to feel bad when this was the result, but I have to say, please don't text and Drive!!!!!

  1. I hate it when people text while they drive! I saw a guy on the highway once reading something on his phone while holding a cigarette in the other hand.

  4. It's been illegal to be on a cell while driving for a while here in Chicago. I can't understand why texting while driving isn't illegal everywhere! I see it all the time, even more than people just talking. So unsafe!

  5. It is very dangerous to text behind the wheels and it is just that people don't understand the danger of it. Yesterday I happen to see some video's of people who were affected due to this reason. It was quite sad to see those video. Please stop texting while driving guys.
