RE: Look Before Your Legislate

Steve Brenneis opines:

I'm with John Hood on this one. I could almost be convinced that this is a good idea, except that there are better ways to accomplish this than micro-managing every minute of a driver's time. Also, punishing the vast majority of people who can manage a cell phone and drive normally at the same time doesn't seem to make a lot of sense to me.

Once again, if NC would enact and enforce (!) very tough penalties on those who are at fault in collisions, the highway safety rates would improve dramatically and the cost of enforcement would likewise decline. We don't need nanny government unless the nanny is going to be willing to thwack wrong-doers hard.
