So apparently Mr. Joseph Simitian has introduced legislation to outlaw texting or talking while riding a bike. Yes- riding a bike. I can't find the bill number so I can only hope its a fluke on the part of the Santa Cruz Sentinel, but I don't think it is. Can I protest this? Also, you can get points on your driving record for what I assume would be for a second offense.
The only people in danger when a rider talks on the phone is the rider. Any pedestrian who is hit will probably call the police and sue. But its two wheels and operated by feet-not an iron behemoth(sp) that kills going 25mph.
I hate this bill and it should die.
