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.
