Driving to work this morning at 70 MPH, I could see the guy behind me had his phone in his hand fiddling around (assume texting). Pulled off the exit (he was still behind me) and still tapping away. Since this 'law' has no real teeth, idiots like this will simply keep doing what they do.

Missouri is way late to the party on this law. I think this law is pretty common across the US.

It's the beginning of the school year so kids will be outside and many adults also like myself will be out walking a lot if you need to message someone pull over I don't even walk and text this is a great law

I won't even answer a phone call while I'm in my car, it's hands free, but I refuse to try and hold a conversation in a town where people turn right from left hand lanes, or make U-turns leagally, yet everywhere else in the USA it is illeagal.

The Constitution vests the power in the legislative branch to ensure decisions on war are made democratically, rather than by a single person.

It would take congress years to make a decision, and the amount of pork required would be phenomenal. Congress is dysfunctional.

Most congressmen are millionaires, but our nation is nearly $40 Trillion in debt.

Congress can't even pass a budget to fund the government.

Just maybe, some of the students could learn how to read, write, and learn a little bit about math. Their texting skills are already, just fine.

The fact that legislators would use this for political gain and schools would use this as a financial game (teaching to the tests so they get an A rating, which gives them more money, wash-rinse-repeat). is a no from me. Didn't they learn something from the failure of the No Child Left Behind?
