    Stupid new law about to pass in WA.

    For all you in Washington, what do you think about driving while on your cell phone being a primary offense? I think it's absolutely retarded.

    I have to say when I do talk on my cell I do get distracted and zone out so yes.

    I thought it had been a primary offense for a long time now? Anytime I see a cop car while on the phone I always just say "cop" and drop the phone casually and pick it up when I'm clear. I thought this had been a law for a long time, so I don't really care lol.

    Well see, the reason I find it stupid is that they are claiming they are doing this because it makes you an unsafe driver and a danger to others. But it doesn't go on your record at all if you get pulled over for it. To me, it seems like a bs way for the state to screw us out of more money and call it safety. Just like those stupid photo enforced lights.

    I hate fuckers on phones, anything that keeps them off of it in any situation makes me happy.

    also, this is my cousin or was http://www.kcoy.com/global/story.asp?s=10799780

    Bitch was texting and now he be dead. But seriously i fucking hate people on cell phones in cars or even on sidewalks i get pissed off when i see my mom on a cell phone in a car too, even though she has an "immunity" since she is a doctor and allowed to take calls from patients regardless of the law. However her fiance is a doctor which means if a cop pulls her over for talking to her fiance she can just say she is talking to a doctor.

    Sounds like a fine idea to me, long as it includes the handsfree sets too, the distraction is being on the phone...not holding it.

    The only thing people should be doing well driving...is driving.

    It's been a secondary offense for a while, but it's about to switch to primary.

    Then you (and people like you) should have the self control to not talk on your cell phone while driving... Not all of us suffer the same problem.

    Should have been a primary offense to start, this is a good move.

    I can understand people bitching how its just more $ for the state but I think its a good law. You can fucking kill people being distracted.

    Just don't like the stipulation that involves blue-tooth headsets or any other hands free peripheral. Makes it kind of hard to pretend to be listening to your wife while going to a strip club across the beltway.

    Exactly, I think people should be smart enough/have common sense enough to know that they are not capable of doing something and not do it. I know and accept that there are a ridiculous amount of stupid people out there who don't care or think about anything and will do it regardless but to me it's just like the seat belt issue. I understand that one is a big time safety concern but at the same time it just feels like a restriction of freedom to me.

    No lie, that has got to be the stupidest thing I've ever read. If you were smart, you'd have the the common sense to know that, and not post it.

    Hasn't it been this way in NY for a while? Just use speaker phone.

    Oh my god I fucking hate these, they are absolute bullshit. They have them almost everywhere around where I live now, everytime I go through a major stop light I see a flash or two, EVERY TIME. They are way too overzealous also, I see cars going in yellow and they will go off if the car is in the intersection when it switches to red. I've never been hit by one but I feel bad for any people who do.

    Can't drive and talk on the phone in Oregon anymore, gotten use to it so I don't care much anymore. Or is your law counting hands free devices too now? If so, sucks to be you.
