Keep your god damned phones in your ****ing pockets while you drive
Lost a friend yesterday because some stupid kid was texting and lost control of her car, went across the highway, and caused my friend to put his bike down.
He lost his life because of you Keonna Whiters of Wichita. I know it was not your intention to cause this good man to lose his life... but **** you none the less. I hope the DA charges you with Vehicular Manslaughter at the very least. http://www.kake.com/news/headlines/M...129315583.html RIP Dwight "Slyder" Pierce - B.A.C.A |

But think about this for a second. Why would holding up your phone to your ear make any difference? Because one hand is off the wheel? That may impact your ability to make an emergency lane change, but it should have no impact on braking. Why would holding the phone make you more distracted than not holding it? How can holding it make you miss a stop sign or a stop light?

I'm not aware of any laws regarding it here in NE. One problem is, unless you get into an accident because of it, it's going to be tough to enforce.

Yeah....it's illegal here....but how many people do you see driving around with a phone up to their ear? I've seen more now that it's illegal...then I did when it was legal.

The non hands free is enforced fairly often. If the cop sees you with a phone up to your ear you get pulled over it's a primary offense. A general no talking on the cell phone with hands free would be impossible to enforce short of blocking cell signals.

pr capone, I am SO sorry for the loss of your friend. My parents (also Harley riders) and I were one of the first on the scene after it happened. I didn't know Dwight and Linda personally, but I am still so broken up about all of this. It never should have happened. Keonna Whitters, unintentionally or not, is a MURDERER. I hope she is remorseful for what she has done, and I really hope they throw the book at her.
Once, again, my sympathies for your loss. My prayers go out to his entire family. ![]() |

I don't give a crap how well anyone multitasks. Using the cell, putting on makeup, eating, reading, etc should be against the law while operating a moving vehicle.

I used to text while driving. In the early days of texting when you were using a tactile 0-9*# phone, it was easy to do without looking at the phone. When I for a long time used various Blackberry Curve series phones, it was still fairly easy to do whilst still looking at the road.
Nowadays, a touch screen makes this impossible, so I would only do it at a stoplight. If this girl was trying to reach her phone and veered into oncoming traffic, it seems more like the careless and inexperienced teen driver is the problem than it was the phone. I am sorry for your loss of a friend |

It is a shame though PR's friend is a direct result in phone/texting use while driving. People make stupid decisions everyday, some more than most. It's too bad a life is taken while someone was stupid. You can make all kinds of laws preventing things like this, but you can't fix stupidity. |

So in another words they don't want to enforce it. Stupid.
