It's a no-brainer, I don't know why Ohio law makers argue about passing the law. It should be a done deal by now.

I am gonna rant here a little so give me a little lee way ;D I hate texters while driving..so do we ban talking on the cell phone,changing cd's,eating a Big Mac,fries and drinking a coke,putting on makeup,reading a book,shaving,yelling at the kid in the back seat,what is a turn signal or a stop sign or speed limit sign,......Why can I be pulled over for not having a seat bealt on but ride a motorcycle with out a helmet..a DUI check point...how can they ask me what I am doing or where am I going...why is radar on open streches of road...so the most revenue can be brought in and not in school zones where even the mini van moms speed with reckless abandon...as they drop off their kids...I am just getting started but I shall be nice and say have a great evening ;D

Amtrak, strange you should mention mini van moms, I wrote this a couple of years ago about soccer moms and their mini vans. This was intended to be a joke, but there is a lot of truth in my writing. :
The Soccer mom
I was riding my XS650 on State street in my home town when I caught a red light, and much to my chagrin, stopped right beside me was the dreaded soccer mom in a Town & Country mini van with three kids all drinking slurpies and hanging out of the windows. My worst fear in this life is that I will leave this earth after being center punched by a soccer mom in a mini van. So when the light changed to green, I launched away in a cloud of tire smoke, valve clatter and muffler noise that could be heard almost to Walmart. When the front tire came back down, I banged second gear, but she was right beside me talking on her cel phone and drinking a slurpie. I banged third gear and took the XS650 to red line, but she was still beside me and now she was talking on the cel phone and putting on lipstick. Fourth gear found us well involved and over the speed limit, the telephone poles were starting to look like a picket fence, but she was still there beside me, talking on the stupid cel phone and putting a slap attack on one of the kids. Fifth gear and she was still there in the left lane, and we were neck and neck heading toward the edge of town and the soccer field. Then it hit me, she had to be in my lane to make a right turn into the soccer field !! At that moment I saw her turn signal out of the corner of my eye...I figured I'm dead meat, so I went into my best racers tuck and prayed to Mama Yama for 200 more rpm's. She nailed the brakes, swung in behind me just missing my tail light and skidded into the entrance of the soccer field with dust flying, kids screaming and slurpies going in every which direction. As I reached the edge of town and the city limits I chanced a look back, and she had her arm out the window with her middle finger pointed up in the air. I can only assume from that, she thinks I'm number one !!!
