Any driver cannot use a cellphone in the city of Poverty, unless using bluetooth or the like. It started out as a ban on text messaging and then the retarded city commissioners felt an outright ban on cellphone use would be even better. Citations are damn near $100 I believe.....

Get use to it. In the other WASHINGTON, we have a similar law.

I hear that New York is considering a ban of texting while walking. I guess the U-Tube vid of the woman texting and falling into a mall fountain is the basis for "inattentive walking while texting".

It's an easy way for cash strapped governments to get additional money.
