Then the laws will follow slowly. Not to sound cynical, but one of the largest groups of offenders in the Annapolis, MD area are lawyers, and most state reps are, well, lawyers. The only group close in abuse of cell phones are the real estate agents. I don't see Maryland getting a law with teeth because the first group to be bitten on the backside will be the lawyers on the phone in traffic. Curtis L.

You mean you didn't turn her in to the cops for hit & run? Damn, you're a saint. nah, i honestly don't think she noticed. we (the trucker and i) thought she had a phone headset on. someone going for a hit & run wouldn't have parked her car a few hundred feet away and gone into the store. interestingly the 40-something lawyer who hit me (in my only other accident 12 years earlier) just handed me two $100 bills. And didn't make you sign something? HE was a saint! this was 1991. times were different. people were trusting. lawyers were saints. i was obviously broke. don't you remember? -- david reuteler |
