I saw a small brief in today's paper about back-to-school traffic enforcement in Clovis:
"Clovis police officers issued 79 citations during a back-to-school traffic detail this week, police spokeswoman Janet Stoll-Lee said Friday.More than 15 officers will patrol around schools next week, Stoll-Lee said."
I have to wonder if any of those citations involved violations of the cell phone law that went into effect July 1. Driving around, it seems like no one is worrying anymore about getting caught for violating it.
Do you think our streets are any safer since this law went into effect? Or would they be if more people weren't still talking on their cell phones without using hands-free devices?
I personally haven't heard of anyone getting busted for this offense.
Although I still see people on cell phones it has cut way back from what I can tell.
I see people on the phone just as much as I ever did before this "law". Another law the USA doesn't bother to enforce. We just lump it in with the others, you know, like immigration.
The car next to yours, that keeps crossing the white line, coming disconcertingly
close to your own car, could as well be driven by an ape munching banana chips.
Who can see who is driving and what they are doing behind those dark tinted windows?
