NYC Passes a "No Texting" while driving law...

Last week, New York City passed a law against text messaging while you are operating a vehicle. Okay that's great. I get it, honestly I do, however, as a 20-something (the most well known culprits of this disastrous habit) I feel that it should be COMMON SENSE not to drive while looking down at a (at it's biggest) 9 in screen and typing messages to other people!!

Utah, according to the New York Times, also passed the law. The Times also cited that the US Senate is trying to pass national legislation on the subject.

What do you think? I think it's rather ridiculous that we need to waste time passing these laws-- they are excellent laws to be passing as it is a dangerous situation, however, it should be self explanatory!!

I get it, I really do. I generally make most of my phone calls in my car, but I have a head set and I'm talking-- not texting, tweeting or writing an email!!

Come on America, stop the communication for the 10 minutes it takes to get from point a- point b, or at least do it at the lights...
