Texting + Driving = NO

The land of the free keeps getting a bit less free doesn’t it?

Beginning January 1, 2009, a person driving a motor vehicle is prohibited from writing, sending, or reading a text message, instant message, or e-mail from an electronic wireless communication device. However, a person may read, select, or enter a name or phone number in a wireless device to make or receive a phone call. A violation of this law is an infraction punishable by a base fine of $20 for the first offense and $50 for each subsequent offense. Senate Bill 1613.

Awesome! More freedom! (This is one of those cases where an I.S. is necessary, which stands for Insert Sarcasm.)

Is it New Hampshire where one can “Live Free or Die”? I’m moving there.
