California enacts distracted driving while reading law.

California enacts distracted driving while reading law. In a statement today Gov. Moonbeam stated "Too many drivers are being distracted while driving from reading signs and banners. Henceforth it will be illegal to read while driving." He was joined by Representative Boxer who stated "A companion bill to ban the placement of signs where they can be viewed from the road is making its way through my House Committee. Americans need to be protected from this type of irresponsible behavior." The California Department of Transportation estimates it will cost in excess of 432 million dollars to remove signage from the state highways.

$533 is outrageous! I'm really sorry they had to shut one intersection down because it wasn't lucrative enough for them. Oh, I mean, "cost effective."

It's these changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes Nothing remains quite the same With all of our running and all of our cunning If we couldn't laugh we would all go insane

Its not the distraction that caught my interest

from the article. The cost of sending a lawyer to defend the city for each contested ticket could cost them more than the ticket cost. As the percentage of challengers rise the profits and therefore the reliance on income for red light cameras may be a passing fad.

Apparently the distracted woman was not a member of this site, or a GPS user with red light camera intersection warning.

Once we get the cars that drive themselves then we won't have to worry about distracted drivers.
