Texting While Driving Law!!!

Separating the text message from the driving - I'll never understand the hate of the text message.

Quick, silent, effective, and unobtrusive.

Also great if you need to talk to someone who is prone to talking on the phone about nothing for an extended period of time. You can avoid that painful and time consuming phone call.

I guess you can hate the text message in and of itself (although I'll never understand why) - just don't ever be that jackhole jabbering away in line while waiting for a coffee or at the food store on your cell phone.

My wife called me on her way home and told me someone she works with got pulled over in the Longwood area of boston this morning for texting. He got a warning. Supposedly he said he wasn't even texting but was punching in the password to unlock his phone that had an incoming call??? Who the hell locks down their phone with a password?

MarshCappa - who the hell locks down their phone with a password?

It's a corporate security issue ... corporations that provide BBs/iPhones to employees who have to use them for work, so in case they should lose it or it gets stolen, some theif or fool cannot access corporate emails.

Yeah...I love when people are texting sitting in front of you at a movie!!! Very unobtrusive! Or when they cruise through the red light in front of you and but for the grace of God and the fact that you happened to be paying attention while driving....they did not T-BONE you and kill you......nothing inobtrusive about that?? Or when they are at a dinner table in a restaurant......ignorant!!! It is the most ridiculous thing ever invented! Did I mention that same little box has a working telephone in it!!!! If you use it properly you can hear and talk to people on the other end???
