WE CARD UNDER 40 (Rt. 30 Across from Hospital)
I know from experience t hat more a nd more drivers are texting while driving. You can just tell. They think that driving 5 miles below the speed limit will give them the ex t r a t i me to read or write a text - and no one will ever know. What they hope no one else notices is that they drift out of their lane, slam on their brakes at the last minute, and sit at the stop light long after it has turned green. A New Jersey town is tired of people texting while driving – and while wa lk ing. Fort Lee New Jersey has had 3 fatalities t hat were caused by p e op l e t e x t i n g w h i l e crossing the street. I’m guessing that they forgot t he i r p a r e nt ’s a d v ic e to look both ways. Fort Lee, N.J. police said they w i l l beg in issuing $ 85
t icket s to pedest r ia n s who are caught texting while walking. Perhaps the pedestrians in New Jersey don’t rea lize a ll the features of their fancy tex t i ng mach i nes. T he new features of electronic gadgets are hard to keep up with after all. Maybe t he y don’t k now t h at t hei r tex t i ng mach i ne has a great feature, they can press a single button or tap the screen once, hold it up to their ear, and actually talk to the person on the other end. That way they can keep both eyes on the sidewalk in front of them. Anyway, I hope it helps keep people safer in New Jersey – I’m just not sure you can cure stupid with an $85 ticket.
