I just find it hilarious that they are actually considering creating special zones where people can pull over and text. What could be so important that can't wait until you get to your destination??
The whole thing is silly.

Pull over �texting zones� to be set up on highways [View all] hrmjustin Sep 2013 OP

Texting zones?? darkangel218 Sep 2013 #1

Well it should be interesting. It is now illegal to text and drive in NYS. hrmjustin Sep 2013 #2

So will be in FL, from Oct 1st. darkangel218 Sep 2013 #3

It will be interesting to see how they pull it off. I am sure they will get money from tickets. hrmjustin Sep 2013 #4

I suspect there will be traffic jams and accidents from so many trying to pull into those zones. darkangel218 Sep 2013 #5

I don't drive so it won't matter to me but I don't walk and text because I will walk into something. hrmjustin Sep 2013 #6

Lmao!! i dont walk and text either :) darkangel218 Sep 2013 #7

I have poor vision so I am not allowed to drive. hrmjustin Sep 2013 #8

You dont really need to drive in NY. darkangel218 Sep 2013 #9

In most parts of NYC that is true but not all. hrmjustin Sep 2013 #10

There are plenty of rest areas on highways. darkangel218 Sep 2013 #14

They used to be called "rest areas." djg21 Sep 2013 #15

Does anyone see irony here? Laffy Kat Sep 2013 #11

I see your point. hrmjustin Sep 2013 #12

K&R! Sounds like a really good idea to me! Rhiannon12866 Sep 2013 #16

I tend to agree. It is a major issue in this state. hrmjustin Sep 2013 #17

It's a major issue everywhere and has caused some tragic accidents Rhiannon12866 Sep 2013 #19

I can not walk and text. hrmjustin Sep 2013 #20

I don't think I could, either, have enough trouble with it when I'm sitting still, LOL. Rhiannon12866 Sep 2013 #23

I hate my cell phone anyway. hrmjustin Sep 2013 #24

I just try and remember to take mine with me, have only had one for a little over a year. Rhiannon12866 Sep 2013 #27

I wish I could just throw mine away. hrmjustin Sep 2013 #28

Well, you don't have to answer it, LOL. Rhiannon12866 Sep 2013 #32

Sometimes I don't answer it. hrmjustin Sep 2013 #34

Btw how are your allergies up there? hrmjustin Sep 2013 #18

It's still pretty bad. This summer has just been the worst! Rhiannon12866 Sep 2013 #21

I know I am dying here and my asthma makes it worse. hrmjustin Sep 2013 #22

Thanks! Rhiannon12866 Sep 2013 #25

I used my Asthma machine this morning when I woke up. It helped. hrmjustin Sep 2013 #26

You mean a nebulizer? I have one of those, too. Rhiannon12866 Sep 2013 #29

Thank God for Nebulizers! hrmjustin Sep 2013 #30

I totally agree, has saved me more than once. Rhiannon12866 Sep 2013 #31

I hate having to go to the hospital for Asthma. hrmjustin Sep 2013 #33

That's why it's so important to have a nebulizer. Rhiannon12866 Sep 2013 #45

The Claritin is working well again today so hopefully I won't need the nebulizer. hrmjustin Sep 2013 #48

How do you feel today? hrmjustin Sep 2013 #35

It's a whole lot warmer today, but it's not too bad. Rhiannon12866 Sep 2013 #36

I took a Claritin and I have been fine all day. hrmjustin Sep 2013 #37

And I just took an Advil Congestion, LOL. Rhiannon12866 Sep 2013 #38

No Otto appears to be there but limited. Still to be determined. hrmjustin Sep 2013 #39

Let me know how that turns out. Rhiannon12866 Sep 2013 #40

It is interesting watching the reactions of people to this new change. hrmjustin Sep 2013 #42

A lot of people are glad they're cracking down on abusive jury comments Rhiannon12866 Sep 2013 #43

Well I hope thingsa work out well. I do miss Meta at times. hrmjustin Sep 2013 #46

Otto took out someone so it is still around. hrmjustin Sep 2013 #41

Thanks! I'm awfully pleased to know that! Rhiannon12866 Sep 2013 #44

Yeah I was glad to see that he is still there to take care of our friend. hrmjustin Sep 2013 #47
