Recently Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger enacted a law in the state of California that would ban teen use of cell phones, laptops or other electronic devices while driving. How can such a blatant use of age discrimination make it into legislation? If California wants to reduce the number of accidents caused by cell phone usage why would they target teens alone? Adults are equally incapable of driving while using a cell phone.
Banning 27-43 year old women from applying mascara in the car should be the next proposed law. I wasn’t aware enacting a law that conflicts with another law was possible. Considering age discrimination is a crime on par with gender and race discrimination it seems preposterous that this law could even take effect.
The law should be rewritten to encompass all ages. Are seatbelts only mandatory for 1-12 year olds? This was hardly an adequate use of government time and money.
