Default Re: Texting and Driving

Depending on where you are in MI, its city by city not state-wide, it is illegal to be on the phone without a hands free. Perversely, its still legal to text message and drive. I have yelled at my MOTHER for texting while she drives! That crap makes me crazy! Of all the idiotic things to do while driving, taking your eyes off the road for that long. It only takes a second and you are in trouble.

I have to renew my license this year and the test in MI to do so is ridiculous. Really. I cannot believe that they dumb it down THAT much for people to renew. 10 freaking questions. I think the test should be much more in depth. And I really do believe that you need to spend time studying for it. Its a good way to refresh old knowledge in your head, remind you of traffic laws and that its a privilage to drive, not a right. I think that you should have to pass an eye exam as well. A refresher test with an instructor should be mandatory if you do not pass the written or you have had moving infractions between renewals.
