| Proposal Bans Snacking, Smoking Behind the Wheel |
| 2013-11-27 |
| [NBCPHILADELPHIA] Drivers could possibly be pulled over for snacking, smoking or putting on make-up behind the wheel under a bill that has been advanced in the New Jersey Assembly. The proposed law would fine drivers found to "engage in any activity unrelated to the operation of a motor vehicle in a manner that interferes with the safe operation of the vehicle." The bill advanced by a 12-0 vote Monday in the Assembly's transportation committee. It does not spell out which activities would and would not be considered distracted driving, instead leaving that determination up to police. |

| #5 What's next - I can't smoke in my own house or something? No worries, you will be able to smoke in a designated area of your home subject to the block council's okay. |

| #4 Probably a good thing actually. I once had a colleague who ran a stop sign and was T-boned whilst enjoying non-conjugial relief. He survived, but was ticketed, his auto insurance doubled, lost half his pension along with the house. Some things, they just can't be explained away. |
