Not to be a downer...But, just a reminder, that's it's probably not worth 3 points and $500 to get caught with a phone in your hand while driving.

It would SUCK to lose 3 points that way!

Hey, I'm just spreading the word that the penalty's went way up. Do what you want.

Do you know what you get for blowing .05% now?

Does being stopped at a red light constitute as, "driving"?

Fun story about this;

I believe it was New York City that did this, but I'm not 100% sure. The city put in "safe texting zones" at intersections, that you're allowed to text in while stopped at a red light. Apparently because of this, texting and driving tickets went down substantially. sounds like an extremely logical thing to do.

Don't forget the 'You're breathing which emits CO2' tax.

Didn't mean to cause a storm....my bad.

In all fairness, I did only post it after getting home, as I live around the corner.
