Texas bans in-car cell phone use in school zones

A new law passed in Texas requires drivers to “hang up and drive” when in school zones or face fines of up to $200.

Sparky Dean (really — I didn’t make that name up), the spokesman for the Texas Department of Public Safety, said he hopes the new law will make drivers “pay more attention to driving when and where school children are present.”

I guess the rest of the time, drivers should be free to let their minds, fingers and conversations wander, aimlessly?

On a related note, there are other reasons why watching mobile porn in a school zone is a bad idea; so even if this law did not exist, Texans would be well-advised to abstain from surfing porn on their iPhone while — say — dropping their kids off at school for the day.
