We've had the move over law for a while, not sure how long. The state just instituted the cellphone law at the beginning of the year. The local cities passed an ordinance last year that banned texting/downloading ringtones while driving because some young woman killed a bicyclist while downloading a ringtone. This is one stupudist laws possible. I believe "reckless" driving encompasses either of those. Here you can get a reckless driving charge if you are 25 over the limit, and can lose your license...but running over someone and killing them DOESN"T qualify as reckless. Give me a break, this is just another reach into your pockets to pay for the obscene spending that seems to be part of a politicians make up. Of course lawmakers exempt themselves...because they are so impotent ( I spelled that right).
