State Legislature Wants to Limit Distracted Driving

Lawmakers in Harrisburg are looking for ways to curb the epidemic of distracted driving in the Commonwealth by requiring hands free cellular telephones. While they're at it they should also ban eating, applying make-up, reading, watching television and working on a computer while driving.

I know I find it really annoying when I'm cruising up the turnpike on my way to Harrisburg and some idiot cuts me off while on their phone. How am I supposed to check my gps directions, balance the laptop on the passenger seat and compose a coherent (some may say I've never done so) blog post if these distracted drivers are allowed such liberties?

Hold on, I have a phone call coming in.... oops, where's that darned earpiece..... Hello? Yes, I'm on my way to Harrisburg to lobby for this new legislation. Say, that sound slike fun, I'll see you at the meeting.

Now, where were we? Yes, I was writing this insightful piece about nut drivers while on my way to Harrisburg..... Hold on, the laptop just slid off my lap. They shouldn't call them laptops if they slide off your laps this easily folks. OK, back online and back in my lane. Gee, why is that jerk in the passing lane giving me the finger? What the heck is his problem? I got back in my lane as fast as I could! Where's a cop when you need one?

Now, about that legislation banning distracted drivers.... where were we???
