Toward the end of last year they said the cell phone bill wouldn't be able to go into effect until some time in 08, even if it were passed right now.

I say more fund raising for the state through higher $$ traffic law enforcement, and less taxes on goods and services.

Mike, Mike, Mike...you're such a dreamer. Even if they raised as much money from fines as they do on taxes, they would not lower the taxes you pay, they would just find some new priority. Silly boy.

I agree. I used to think if someone was all over the place and driving like a moron that they were either drunk or just plain stupid. Now its changed and I know that they are drunk, stupid and talking on a cell phone. I have even seen a few chicks driving, talking and looking in the mirror and freakin' with their hair while driving. That was scary.

Yeah, I have been hearing about this supposed cell phone law for a while though, I'm sure it will happen eventually. I think some states have already passed it.
