Maria's Many Rants and Raves..

My many rants and raves about Howell, NJ. Some good .. some not so good. Enjoy and feel free to comment etc.

I heard this today on NJ 101.5, Apparently one of our elected officials ( I forget his name) is proposing to double fines if anyone is caught on a cell without a hands free device, ie: blue tooth etc. or texting while driving. I for one don't use the phone while I am driving for the simple fact that I have enough to worry about on the road as it is. I just want to know what everyones thoughts are on these new fines..This elected official also said that talking on the phone or texting is worse then drunk driving.. I tend to disagree..
