texting and driving is no more distracting then reading a billboard and driving. Of course, the billboard owners are paying the state a lot of money. This law will let them charge you a lot of money for texting while driving as well.
I guess David doesn’t read traffic signs then. A sign or bill board doesn’t require you to focus on a small screen while trying to type at the same time. We watch texting drivers blow red lights in front of our office almost daily or slam on brakes suddenly when the look up to see a red light or a pedestrian in the cross walk. Texting simply says a persons useless blathering or gossiping about nothing is more important that someone’s life. They are mindless self absorbed lemmings who can’t wait until they aren’t operating a 4000 lb missile to reply or look at a meaningless text, pitiful.
AZ doesn’t need a separate anti-texting law. We have a law against inattentive driving which gives the officers a broader approach to violators. Most of the metropolitan cities have separate anti-texting laws on top of the state law.

A billboard does not try to have an ongoing conversation with you.
And you don’t have to look down and type back to a billboard.
Bad analogy.

If I’m stopped and want to reply to my spouse’s text question, I should be able to. If I’m “driving/moving” no texting!
