Comment of the week: txt n ur car edition
To recap the week in symbolic legislation: Kansas has officially outlawed text-messaging while driving. But don’t pick up your rotary-dial phone and get on the party line to celebrate your newfound safety just yet. Think about what commenter “Brian Nuevo” writes:
Hey at least it is still perfectly legal to play Tetris on my phone, take pictures with my phone, check my calendar on my phone, make and receive calls, use the calculator on my phone, watch YouTube videos on my phone, etc, etc, etc while driving. (all of which should affirmative defenses unless the state can prove you were texting.)
Your move, Kansas.
