   New Jersey legislators are pushing a (very intelligent) plan to make it illegal to text message while driving. It was only a matter of time that such a law would eventually be brought to the table considering it is illegal to talk on the phone while driving. In fact the texting ban should have come first! Driving while texting takes your most important and obvious sense away…your vision! I can’t imagine much opposition to this plan, but of course there will be. “I have a right to do what I want in my car,” I heard one idiot say. No you don’t sir, not if what you are doing can harm others…you know, like texting someone thus taking your eyes completely off the road. New Jersey is not alone in this potential ban. Arizona, Connecticut and Washington are the other states smart enough to consider this plan of a ban. Studies show that one out of five people text while driving, and that number sky-rockets to one out of every three for people in the 18-34 age group. So to all of you offenders out there…you better kick the habit!Â

New Jersey is awesome! And this “csetaro” person writes some really good blogs!! Hope to hear more from him
I think texting is one of the most annoying things invented. I know I am going to get yelled at for saying this, especially being a student who attends class in which turned-on cell phones are not allowed. But I swear I am surrounded by addicts. It’s like they are on drugs. Even in the park, I will see nannies who are supposed to be doing their jobs of watching the children to keep them safe, fastened to their text messaging.
