Text Drivers are Killers

Joe Biden - "Time to put Trump in the bullseye."
The bad news is the penalties are not that great - just a fine of around $200. These crimes should be treated like DUI

From the steps of the Capitol Monday, Gov. Jay Inslee had a warning for all the drivers trying to sneak in one last text.

“When you are driving while you are on a cellphone, you are more dangerous to yourself and everyone else on the road than a drunk driver with a .08 blood alcohol (level),” Inslee told the crowd.

State officials are working to get the word out about Washington’s Driving Under the Influence of Electronics Act, which goes into effect Sunday and bans the use of handheld devices while driving, even when stopped in traffic.

Fines start at $136 and can go up to $234; violations will be reported to insurance companies, meaning violators could see their rates increase.

Other distractions, such as grooming, smoking, eating or reading, could result in a $99 ticket if you are pulled over for another offense.

Even radios should be banned in cars. You're driving a 3000 pound vehicle at 60 mph and playing with an electronic toy should be out of the question.

I'd go so far as to say talking should be banned. Especially if it's a woman talking. And if it's a kid or baby making noise in the car, gov't should take them away from the parents.
 
Black people and anyone other than white people should be banned from driving as they created a huge distraction to drivers like TDAK.

WHITE PEOPLE ONLY

Yeah, his freeway of choice.
