...and please note that in NC, ignorance of the law is not a legal defense.

I offer you:



Teenage drivers can no longer talk on a cell phone behind the wheel.

The law effects teens under the age of 18.

There are a few exceptions to the law.

Teens will be able to use their cell phone for an emergency or to call their parents or guardians.

A second new law going into effect today, helps state law enforcement agents track violent sexual predators.

Beginning today, agents will use new GPS devices to track habitual and violent sex offenders.

Its a lifelong tracking system for offenders.

A new seatbelt law now requires passengers in the back seat of a vehicle to wear a seatbelt.

Until now, only people in the front seats and children under 16 had to buckle up.

Troopers will hand out warnings beginning today.

Finally, it's now against to law to drive or operate a bicycle or lawn mower if you are legally drunk.

------------------------------

I'll start with operating a lawnmower with .08 alcohol content. Over 1/2 of the great state of NC (if not more) fails every time. That is 2 beers or less. Also consider that this often occurs on one's own property. Another reason to get back at a bad neighbor is another possibility. "He looked drunk to me."

A bike, well I understand if on the road. But off road is different. Trust me, it would be dumb to drink and ride a bike, but this is not the government's business. Whose is it? The insurance companies? Maybe. It is about control.

Back seat passengers in cars now must wear seatbelts. OK, but why has the public NOT been informed? Because "they" like to make laws and not tell us, as an excuse to search your car and intimidate you. Selective enforcement is always possible. (And insurance companies have many lobbyists and lawyers.)

Nobody likes habitual and violent sex offenders- we can all agree here. So, let's chip 'em to get the rest of us used to the idea? Dogs aren't hurting from it, are they? Tracking anyone usually means everyone in the long run I think.

Teenagers cannot talk on cell phone while driving? What about the rest of the id10t's that do it as well? And guess who gets to verify who the teen in question called previously (privacy anyone?). Besides, who defines an emergency? What if parents/guardians are at another location than home- and the number doesn't match up?

I am feeling sick. You better pay attention to what your local community is doing because you may not approve (not that any of us could do anything.)

It's illegal to talk on a cell phone and not wearing seatbelts, front or back, on any military installation. All federal employees are screened prior to being hired, so I would like to think there are no sexual predators that work or live on military installations. Who could possibly ride a bike while they were drunk, let alone mow a lawn?

I think some of the laws were made with good intentions, but it is dead wrong not to inform the public.(How did you find out?) As long as regular citizens have freedom of choice regarding the ID chip, I don't care whether they give it to violent criminals, although I concede that it's a violation of their rights. The rule regarding teens with cell phones makes some sense, because new drivers tend to have more accidents, and don't need to be distracted. They can pull over if they really need to talk to someone, my mom doesn't even use her cell while driving. I don't know about the bikes and lawnmowers thing, that doesn't make sense, but I'll keep watch, you might be right with your conspiracy theory.

I can't comment on the lawnmower thing, but I can see people riding a bike drunk or doped up. When people lose their licenses from dwi, I have seen many of them drive bicycles drunk. They are a hazard to themselves and others. In Kansas however, I believe the same law applies to bicycles as to cars. We also have a public intoxication law.

If sex offenders are habitual/violent, they should be locked up, not chipped.

I don't think anyone should talk on a cell phone while driving. At first I thought that even during an emergency they should pull over, however, I once called the police on a drunk driver, and they asked me to follow him, while I stayed on the phone to let them know where he was.

Seatbelts-well I wear mine, and I make everyone in my car wear one, not because of any law, but because I think it is the smart thing to do.

the ol' log in and type than it gets erased because you typed too much before you are logged out just got me. I need a few more moments to get it back together!

I almost want to moderate just to fix that flaw alone!!!

How did you find out? - carsayzylum

I saw it on FARK! No shyte. Not on the local news (although they may have mentioned it, it didn't get around to the local population)


Petey: "Does anyone else remember when America was a free country?"

Not in my lifetime. Free to be regulated to death! Free to have the right to get permission to try to get a license to help others try to get permission to... ah you know!



freedomlover- "I don't think anyone should talk on a cell phone while driving. At first I thought that even during an emergency they should pull over" -agreed. And my sealtbelt is always on!

cat meow- if you are using a reaper to cut the lawn (manual not loud mechanical) than you can not only use your cell but get quite reasonable reception. I rely on my tin hat, however. He he it does work!
