On my way to a meeting the other day I overshot my turnpike exit by 150 miles. I was distracted, pure and simple. Frankly, I don’t recall if the distraction was a phone call, reading the paper, sending an e-mail or checking the market futures index on my iPhone. Or, it could have been shaving, Twittering, putting on makeup (an illustrative comment only) or petting the dog on my lap.
But does it matter, what’s a little distraction? Now if you drive in New York state you better beware, that state has a law against texting, you can’t read, type or send a text message…OMG it says nothing about sending a e-mail, quite a different matter as those who pay their monthly texting charge know.
So, now in NY you can’t talk or send a text message on a cell phone while driving. No doubt this will be the most ignored law in the world, unfortunately.
I really think they need to go after those makeup artists and shavers. I have to go; need to put this laptop down before I get to the toll booth.
Happy motoring!
