Wasted Laws
Minnesota has now made one of the dumbest laws that I have seen. The law states that if you are under 18 and you are driving it is illegal for you to be on the cell phone while you are driving. I do agree that it is possible that cell phones cause more than a few accidents, but I do not agree that it is the 16-18 year olds who are at risk. If there is any age group of people that have the ability to multitask with technology it is the young. These are the people who are watching TV, downloading music for their iPod, chatting with friends on the internet, talking on the phone, and writing a paper for class. For this law to have any real effect it should be in place for all or anyone over the age of 40… as we know most of them are the ones who can’t even program a VCR. This is just another example of politicians trying to do something that will get the attention of their voters but not really accomplish anything.
