"The Mudgee Local Court magistrate judge said “under the road rules a horse is a vehicle…and he didn’t have a hands-free device fitted to the horse,” the paper reported."
Well that's just stupid...

NH passed one about a year ago or so. They enforced it strictly for about 2 weeks, then dropped it. However if they do pull you over for something like speeding etc and you are on your phone, they will tack that on.
Was pretty stupid because NH already a distracted driver law the covered it.

Thankfully mine doesn’t have one, at least yet. Just more nanny state BS to use to harass people.

I don’t know if Texas does or not. We do but it didn't stop people from texting and driving.

Yes. And I understand the theory behind it. But that said so many new cars basically have a smartphone built in a screen in the dash. How much less distracting is that? Quite a bit less. Throughout the entire call, your eyes don't have to leave the road.
We may know the time Ben Carson lied, but does anyone know the time Hillary Clinton told the truth?
Immersing oneself in progressive lieberalism is no different than bathing in the sewage of Hell.

That's not a lot different than the speed limit not keeping people from speeding, yellow lines not keeping them from passing, and owi laws not keeping them from drinking. Most folks have a "they won't catch me this time" attitude when it comes to driving.

Throughout the entire call, your eyes don't have to leave the road. Plus it's not just a theory. I've seen studies showing that drivers using a cell phone are distracted enough so that their driving is impaired similarly to what it would be if their BAC was at the lower limit of a DUI.
A wise man is frequently humbled.

Along with big fines.. like $1000 first time...and increases after that...
get 3 of them in 10 years, you lose your license for a long time or forever...
Fines in Oregon are high for everything... because our democRATS don't miss a chance at the state raping money
from the public...EVER...
