Be sure to text for a tow truck.
In Wisconsin they just passed a law, takes effect Dec 1st. It'* illegal to text while driving. Really, they needed to pass a law for that? Don't we already have a law called inattentive driving.

They passed the no texting law in Washington and it'* been in effect since June. There already was a law on the books for inattentive driving. Not sure why the numbskulls didn't just add the texting to it. Doesn't seem to matter. I see just as many texting now than before the law was passed.

Why even add texting to the law? Inattentive driving is inattentive driving, don't mater if your texting, talking on the phone, changing the radio station, putting on makeup, or talking to your kids in the back seat. It'* all the same. Your job when behind the wheel is to drive, nothing more, nothing less.

Some tried to pass it here in PA, but we are resistant to laws trying to govern people. And especially stupid people. The Bill didn't pass. You just can't fix stupid.
