NJ wins the Commie Award with this one even if it does exclude donuts!
Drinking coffee while driving could land you in hot water if a new piece of legislation passes.
A bill in New Jersey targeting distracted drivers would levy hefty fines and a possible license suspension against those who eat, drink, groom, read, or use electronic devices while behind the wheel. In other words, drive and only drive, or else!
Although the bill’s sponsors — Assemblyman John Wisniewski and Nicholas Chiaravalloti, both Democrats — claim the legislation is intended to educate, not punish, drivers, its penalties speak volumes.
“Violators could face a $200 to $400 fine for the first offense and a $400 to $600 fine for a second offense. A third or subsequent offense could mean a fine of $600 to $800 and up to a 90 day license suspension, as well as motor vehicle points,” according to nj.com.
If that isn’t punishment, one has to wonder what is.
Just applies to the driver, Chris Christie, can still eat donuts, in the back of the limo,
while state troopers drive him around. I can't tell you how many women I see putting on eye makeup in the vanity mirror while driving. texting is another big thing while driving here.
