DCFemella: Well Behaved Women Rarely Make History: A Letter from a Texter Who’s Glad Virginia Passed the “No Texting While Driving” Law

    Brilliant :)

    Being a driver on Virginia's roads, I'm also curious why the law went after texters and not the oblivious morons that are talking on their cell phones while driving and yelling at their children in the backseat.

    Plus I don't think the law says anything about tweeting. Texting and tweeting are two different things technically if you have a smart phone.

    Tweeting while driving wouldn't help you get around the law. Haha Can you imagine if a cop stopped you? "I'm not texting. I'm tweeting." You wouldn't have no chance of getting just a warning because he/she would think you are just being a smarta*s.

    I would be ready for the cop to right me up anyway. I would be willing to hire an attorney and fight it with the judge. Maybe get my case heard before the Virginia Supreme Court and let them decide that tweetin' ain't textin'

    But would you really be willing to go all the way to the VA Supreme Court for a bad habit?

    You got me there. It would be an expensive battle at the Supreme Court, but it would make for a great Law and Order. As long as my character is played by Steve Buscemi.

    Steve Buscemi would NEVER win a "tweet while driving" case. Hahaha..you need a hot actor who would sway the courts with his good looks.
