It is now illegal to text while driving in Michigan. Of course, it was already illegal to use a cell phone while driving in Detroit, period. It was also already illegal to drive with only one hand in Michigan as a whole, I do believe. Oddly, it is still legal to operate and look at a GPS screen, change the radio station, watch TV on cell phone, shave, or put on makeup while driving. Myself? I spent much frustrating time trying to calm a baby in a rear facing baby seat because you can't put them in the front seat anymore.
So was this whole thing just a waste of tax payers money and politician's time?
Clearly, if you want to talk or text on the phone while traveling, you are someone who mass transit is perfect for.
