[WARC] Texting while driving

[cyberzl1]

Heard on MPR this morning....

Wisconsin has up for debate legislation to make it illegal to text while dr=
iving.=A0 Exception clauses for emergency personnel, law enforcement, and t=
hose who hold an amateur radio license.=A0 Based on the same legislation al=
ready in effect in Minnesota.=A0 =


So apparently the ARRL (or some other similar lobby) does hold a little clo=
ut in these matters.=A0 Just thought a few might find it interesting, altho=
ugh aside from the radio reference, irrelevent.=A0 I know I don't text at a=
ll, much less while driving. =


=A0Does lead one to wonder if we get the same exception for no talking on a=
 cell phone while driving, also currently illegal in Minnesota.=A0 In some =
states it is stated communications device with similar exceptions as above.=
=A0 I'm not sure how Minnesota has it stated.
