It's a tax they care nothing for your safety.
ReplyDeletedoes it apply to cops too?
ReplyDeleteTax, how much is your families lives worth? If nothing else it makes violators more accountable for the lack of concern or safety for others.
ReplyDeleteIf cops would actually enforce this rule period people wouldn't be swerving all over the road. Every other driver I see on the road has a phone up to their face and cops are the biggest violators! Set an example you hypocrites!!!
