can’t do it in new jersey

V. quick one (things r busy) from The Reg (gotta love those Brits) – story on how…

Authorities in New Jersey are considering making it an offence to send text messages while driving.

Interesting timing given my prior little rant.  Quoth an Assemblyman from the state:

“It requires you to completely take your eyes off the road. I see people driving down the street using both their thumbs to send a text message, and I can only imagine they are steering with their knees.”

Ah, so that’s how they do it – I was wondering whether it was the elbows or the knees. My only thought – its not an offence already? I wonder whether it is here (Canada)…
