Why should they receive a harsher punishment when adults may text as often as teens?  Where are the statistics saying that all teens text while driving more often than adults who text while driving?  Is the trolley driver a teenager?  It is my understanding that he is not. So why are the newscasters shifting the attention from adults who text while driving to teens?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[ckb316]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 11th 2009 12:16PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Texting While Driving Banned for CA Teens]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/08/29/driving-while-texting-banned-for-ca-teens/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/08/29/driving-while-texting-banned-for-ca-teens/</guid><description><![CDATA[if texting while driving is "really" that dangerous , why aren't points being assessed to your driving record for violations ? this law is following the same path as the origional seat belt laws -- no points ; just a fine . which shows us that our "whoares" in sacramento are simply using the safety argument to create a new revenue stream . "MOMMY" government at it's best !]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[boomer]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 29th 2007 5:16PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Texting While Driving Banned for CA Teens]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/08/29/driving-while-texting-banned-for-ca-teens/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/08/29/driving-while-texting-banned-for-ca-teens/</guid><description><![CDATA[It's terrible what happened to those girls, but if you think about it, TEXT at a stop light, or stop sign. Not only that I personally don't even have to look at my phone while texting and can do it with one hand. :) ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[agoodthinker]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 29th 2007 11:55PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Texting While Driving Banned for CA Teens]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/08/29/driving-while-texting-banned-for-ca-teens/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/08/29/driving-while-texting-banned-for-ca-teens/</guid><description><![CDATA[I was nearly hit and was run off the road by a texting car driver while motorcycling.  The same thing has happened numerous times with motorists talking on their cell.  Pay attention, hang up and drive.  Give us 2 wheelers a break.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[BikerDave]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 3rd 2007 2:10PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Texting While Driving Banned for CA Teens]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/08/29/driving-while-texting-banned-for-ca-teens/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/08/29/driving-while-texting-banned-for-ca-teens/</guid><description><![CDATA[Another reason for birth control!!!   Today, most kids are so selfish, arrogant, and all about me,me,me. Texting while driving is even worse than reading a book while driving. How flippen stupid can a person be?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Mark]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 3rd 2007 3:35PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Texting While Driving Banned for CA Teens]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/08/29/driving-while-texting-banned-for-ca-teens/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/08/29/driving-while-texting-banned-for-ca-teens/</guid><description><![CDATA[Why only teenagers? I have a 45 year old daughter who drives ninety on the freeway, no hands on the wheel, swinging across four or five lnes at a time to pass, and tailgates. She does all this while texting and looking at her phone to type. Her mother and I absoluteely refuse to ride with her any more. We need to stay alive so there is someone to bury her. How sad is that?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[John Devine]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 3rd 2007 9:54PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Texting While Driving Banned for CA Teens]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/08/29/driving-while-texting-banned-for-ca-teens/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/08/29/driving-while-texting-banned-for-ca-teens/</guid><description><![CDATA[Why are only teenagers stated in this law? What about the other age groups that text behind the wheel?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[MyOpinion]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 20th 2007 4:02PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Texting While Driving Banned for CA Teens]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/08/29/driving-while-texting-banned-for-ca-teens/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/08/29/driving-while-texting-banned-for-ca-teens/</guid><description><![CDATA[I think texting while driving should be illegal because it takes the decision away from the drivers. Infact, not everyone is a good driver and at the same level of skill. Yet we all think we're great drivers. Right?! I'd be open to multi tasking but not at the risk of my child's life. So if you text and drive please consider that it's my job to make sure my child makes it home safe. And with all the technology out there... Get a bluetooth and just talk!!!! There are plenty of unlimited calling plans out there that are affordable for kids and parents. Texting should be saved for times when a conversation should be silent. Not every conversation 24/7. It's lame that we even have to enter a blog about how reckless it is for someone to take on such a task. It's not all about YOU, YOU, YOU. What about my 4 year old's safety??? Doesn't that count?  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Chandra]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 25th 2007 7:36PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Texting While Driving Banned for CA Teens]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/08/29/driving-while-texting-banned-for-ca-teens/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/08/29/driving-while-texting-banned-for-ca-teens/</guid><description><![CDATA[People need to realize that operating a moving vehicle is a responsibility that requires a driver's full attention.  It's ridiculous that we have to legislate common sense.<br><br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Dyan]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 20th 2007 10:12PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
