A driver distracted by her cellphone struck and killed a bicyclist in Michigan. As part of her sentence, the Judge barred her from using any portable communication device for two years. The Judge stated that he didn't think it was right for her to have a cellphone because it is a privilege. The driver will spend at least 90 days in jail and need to speak with new drivers about the horrors in using a cell phone while driving.
Personally, I don't think this sentence would fly in New Jersey. However, maybe that is what is needed for people to wake up and stop using their phone when they should be watching the road. How many times are you at a light behind a car that doesn't go when the light turns green because they are reading Facebook or sending a text. It is just not right.
