WA Driving While Texting Law Goes Into Effect


Metroblogging Seattle reminds everyone that Washington's driving while texting law goes into effect 1/1/08.

Commenters explore possible loopholes in the law:

I can just see it now: the precedent-setting argument in court about whether emails, being messages consisting of text, are banned by a law against text messaging, or if the law was written so specifically as to refer to SMS only.

Funny.

    I'm waiting for someone to claim that the anti-SMS law is preempted by the CAN SPAM Act, citing both the Mumagraphics and Myspace cases.
