Finally

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. I’m pleased to see someone has finally decided to put a stop to this madness. Your skills as a driver are drastically decreased when you’re trying to maintain even the most mundane conversations over a phone. It seems you’ll find someone forgetting to put a turn signal on while they’re busy chatting away about the movie they’re going to see in less than eight minutes while trying to find a parking spot
Etiquette seems to have died in the age of the cell phone, while probably not the root of the problem, definitely does its fair share of contributing. On the par with putting make up on while driving, cell phone usage is such a huge distraction to drivers. Teenagers don’t seem to know or care that they’re endangering their lives and the lives of others. Schwarzenegger has done a service to us all by banning teenagers from using these distracting devices. And by lumping in “Other electronic devices” it pretty much prevents teens from finding a loophole in the law and saying they aren’t using a phone but an iPod or a PDA.
I am glad this law has been passed and I foresee a slew of positive feedback. Hopefully this will cut back on accidents and possibly even deaths.
