NHTSA launches federally funded distracted driving crackdown campaigns in CT and NY

Taxes, weather, taxes, targeting motorcycle riders for non DOT helmets, taxes. The list goes on and on why many of us, myself included, have left NY State. Starting on April 8 in Syracuse, NY and April 10 in Hartford, CT, drivers caught using a cell phone behind the wheel have a big chance of getting ticketed. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood has given the green light on a pilot program aimed at curbing distracted driving, and police in those localities will be pulling over anyone they see texting or using a cell phone without a hands-free device. Glad to see all our other problems have been solved. Thanks again NY, you can't balance a budget, but you sure can write traffic tickets. Those of us who see the opportunity to leave are bolting for the door. FU.
