James Roberts: Heavily penalize for talking/texting while driving

'Bypass & Burkesville Safety' - Signs will also help warn of dangerous intersections. And enforcement of laws is necessary to change bad driving habits, writer says

By James Roberts

Here is another idea for thought. Pass a local or state ordinance that would heavily penalize a person for talking or texting on their phone while driving. Put up signs especially when entering the busy parts of town to warn people not to pick up that phone! The problem is that people have lost their fear of paying a heavy fine or losing their license when they've broken the law. You've got to do something when bad habits are involved to change the thought process. A stop light or stop sign means Stop! Thanks, James Roberts.
