\nUbicaci\u00f3n:<\/strong> Portland, Oregon<\/p>\n

They still may be a few hang ups surrounding the new cell phone law in Oregon.<\/p>\n

Portland police cracked down on drivers using cell phones two weeks after Oregon\u2019s hands-free cell phone law went into effect. The new law bans talking or texting while behind the wheel.<\/p>\n

Police handed out 55 tickets during the day and afternoon shifts,<\/a> Portland police told The Oregonian<\/em>.
\n
\nViolating the new law can be expensive, with a ticket costing the driver $142.<\/p>\n

The Oregonian said some drivers were involved in riskier situations than others, like the driver who was swerving through traffic, phone to ear. Police caught another driver texting at a stop light. But regardless of the situation, it\u2019s all against the law.<\/p>\n

Drivers should also be aware that dialing a cell phone is considered \u201ctexting.\u201d Hands-free mobile phone operation is allowed for drivers 18 and older, but drivers under 18 are not allowed to use cell phones at all.<\/p>\n

More of\u00a0 these so-called \u201ceducation missions\u201d are scheduled for the month of January.<\/p>\n

This long-overdue law will make the roads safer by reducing the number of distracted drivers on Oregon roads, and, we hope, cut down on accidents.<\/p>\n

If someone chooses to text while driving, they don’t just endanger their own lives, they also endanger other drivers on the road who are being responsible. Just ask Peggy Tucker<\/a>, whose daughter was killed when a driver talking on a cell phone hit her head-on. Peggy Tucker was in the Senate chamber when they were considering this legislation. When it passed, she thanked the bill’s sponsor, Rep. Tomei.<\/p>\n

Too many accidents are caused by the inattention of drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians. Even if you\u2019re not in a car, talking or texting on a cell phone can result in serious injury or death. Streets are not a good place to stop paying attention.<\/p>\n

We hope that now that the \u201ceducation\u201d is over, police will start handing out the tickets. Maybe if the thought of hitting a pedestrian or cyclist doesn\u2019t deter drivers, taking a hit to the wallet will.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
