  1. Be careful about “handsfree” using of phones. Anything that requires taking ones view from the road to the device other than actually answering or talking on the phone should be banned but not just answering or pushing a pre programmed phone number to conduct business by phone. Of course anything that distracts should be avoided.
    The “Vaping issue” is completely bogus. Why, over the many decades that I have lived, has nicotine never been an issue when it concerned cigarettes? It was the tar and other contaminants that coated the lungs and caused cancer that was the primary issue, we were told. Remember you have always been able to get nicotine supplements to help quit smoking. However, only since vaping came along has Nicotine been of any real concern. Its use in vaping and being introduced to the lungs might not be that healthy but it is a drug not that much different than caffeine, another stimulant. Breathing in water vapor has been going on for a long time and was even promoted by doctors for decades. My real concern is that this sudden interest in vaping may not be due to any concern for the health of anyone, including teenagers, but by tobacco manufacturers that see vaping as competing entity. By promoting health concerns about vaping without the required evidentiary documents form medically supervised studies this all becomes rather murky and suspicious.

  2. So we know that texting and driving is pandemic. But why is the government think they have to fix the problem. They are not very good a fixing problems. The insurance industry is the one to fix the driving while distracted pandemic. The State of Indiana should work with the Department that regulates insurance and allow provisions for insurance companies to:

    1) Not cover damage to the distracted drivers car or medical claims and only provide insurance to the victims.
    2) Make getting insurance after an incident similar to drunk driving with mandatory $ 5,000.00 deductible and
    $ 10,000.00 for the 2nd incident, loss of license for 10 years for 3rd incident.
    3) Mandatory access to cell phone information for the previous 10 minutes prior to the accident to determine probable cause.
