i'm all for harsher fines specifically for distracted/text'ing while driving! (cash grab or not). is it a bit much in dollar value? yes. but at this point it's no choice option i think.

educating drivers early is truly the BEST way but our useless Gov would rather just collect the dollars, as usual. so many cars have options for handling calls/texts now, even base models...if not just buy some cheapo aftermarket crap.

the stuff i see go on is insane these days. i literally have been next to usually female drivers SHOUTING at my window "LOOK AT MEEEE" as i drive 6" from the side of their car.......nothing, no reaction.

but really they need a huge fine for "being a fuckin' shitty dumbass driver just in general" because i see many drivers falling into this category.

it's the bullshit 50-over they need to nix.

yup.. too fucking cheap to buy a speaker phone for $100.

IMO, they should remove their licenses on the spot.. but that's just me.

I'm guessing the biggest issue with cases of "distracted driving", is not people talking on their phones but text messaging, emailing and browsing facebook

No need. I have bluetooth built in, son. \:D

Just a habit to glance at my phone sometimes. Instead of 400 reasons to not do that, now I have 1000.

I wonder how this is gonna play out... As we all know how quick cops are to smelling something.

DRUG-IMPAIRED DRIVING

Roadside suspensions of three, seven, 30 and 90 days.
Seven-day impoundment of vehicle.
Treatment or remedial education may be ordered.
Ignition interlock condition can be applied.

over.

If the bill passes, only school buses could be this colour of yellow, so some tacky muscle cars may need a paint job. (Associated Press)
The bill would also “clarify that only school buses can be painted chrome yellow.” One has to wonder what, exactly, necessitated that clarification.


no more yellow cars? or only "school bus" yellow in colour? this witch is smoking crack. how can you NOT be able to tell the difference between a school bus and a car? i don't see the relevance of this.

 Quote:
If passed, the bill would offer the same protections to tow-truck drivers as are afforded to emergency responders: when passing a tow-truck with flashing lights, drivers would be required to slow down and give a full lane’s berth when possible.


tow truck drives are going to abuse the living shit out of this.

Give tow truck drivers the same leeway as police? Some of these guys are the biggest douches there are racing to a scene first.

re. the comments above about info-tainment and the like...yeah all that incorporated shit is coming (at least for honda/acura i know) and toyota soon too. 2016+ shit you'll see basically the telematic screen which will mimic your phone once you start your car and it loads up. of course most apps you will only be able to use when in P.

It should go up to 5k or maybe carry the same equivalent as DUI imo.

seriously. some of them drive those trucks insanely.

with more tech in cars it's almost as bad as just looking at your phone. new tlx has the android auto but when you factor in the lane keep and radar cruise and you have to do nothing to drive then you start to fiddle with settings on the android auto screen, or fiddle with this or that because you know, car will drive itself.

and maybe with these extra fines you'd imagine they could put some more money into fixing some roads up.

I don't think the problem is talking on the phone as it is texting, reading texts, configuring gps and looking for music to play. All of which I don't do so I'm actually okay with this. Do I think it's a cash grab. Totally. But so is everything else so fuck it. Too many dumb laws and dumb fines for everything these days.

Just to clarify, it's a $615 on the roadside ticket. It's $1000 if you're issued a summons instead, or fight the $615 and lose in court. Either one of those will result in conviction which means 3 points, and 3 days suspension of license. That's for a FIRST conviction. Gov't ain't messing around. That's hefty.
