N.J. Town Bans Texting and Walking
Fort Lee, NJ, police have begun to issue $85 jaywalking tickets to pedestrians found texting and walking. The police chief claims that texting and walking has become a distraction, and the people aren't watching where they're going. Regardless, there has been three fatal accidents this years involving pedestrians. More than 117 tickets have already been issued.
This is a bit ridiculous. So do we have to stop in the middle of the sidewalk every time we need to send a text message? This article was extremely short and to the point. I was almost struggling to find information on it. I wish there would've been opinions from town officials. As a whole, I found this article pretty outrageous. I think this is pretty newsworthy since it's so outlandish.
