You can now be liable in NJ for texting someone you knew was driving at the time

Discussion in 'Sports and News' started by Dick Whitman, Aug 30, 2013.

  1. Read the article again, as it's not a crime to text someone if you know they are driving.

    Bingo. City, county and state governments and courts don't give a shit about saving lives. It's all about the revenue.

    What on earth does this have to do with government revenue? It is a civil case between two private parties, which some of you are missing.

    When the board's doing the play-at-home version of Judge Wapner these things happen ...

    This will be a fine-able offense at some point. Gotta keep the money rolling in.

    My mistake. Edited to reflect, but the point still stands.

    The article doesn't say what Dick claims it says. The article says a texter can be held liable if said texter knows the person is reading the sent texts while driving, not that the texter sent the texts while knowing the other person is driving.

    It's always about the money.

    The words in English simply don't match the inspiration of hearing professional wrestler Nikolai Volkov sing it in Russian. :)
