When they are moving slow and swerving because of phones it can turn into a dangerous situation. Now only if a ban can be placed on texting while walking in Schroeder's hallways so people can sop being bumped in to. Cell phone technology has used to be very useful but it does distract from driving and every day activities that can cause danger to others. i anticipate as technology changes many more laws like this one will be implemented to keep up with the modern times.Pat Bradyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00283510277546549277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7959803343678816550.post-17603002130335066152012-04-20T10:43:14.936-07:002012-04-20T10:43:14.936-07:00I also agree that a ban on texting while riding a ...I also agree that a ban on texting while riding a bike would be a good law to be put into place. Riding a bike and texting at the same time is very dangerous. I think it can be just as dangerous than driving and texting.Sarah Dooleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18294563501695476239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7959803343678816550.post-67745284639129067602012-02-27T11:41:07.979-08:002012-02-27T11:41:07.979-08:00I also agree with banning texting while riding a b...I also agree with banning texting while riding a bike. To often people are texting and not paying attention to where they are riding. As a motorist a texting bicyclist is just one more thing you have to worry about while driving.jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16960911390061395737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7959803343678816550.post-82148257348880286252012-02-15T14:51:56.308-08:002012-02-15T14:51:56.308-08:00I completely agree with this ban of not riding a b...I completely agree with this ban of not riding a bike while texting, it can be just as worse as texting while driving a car. Driving in Chicago often you would notice the people on bikes drive like they are invinceable as it is. Bicyclists already will ride right in front of a moving car and on the side of you without slowing down, if they were distracted for even a few seconds this would increase accidents drastically. I also think it is fair that the ban excludes police usage because they are properly trained to do so, however, what if bicyclists were offered training, would they then be able to be exempt from this ban?Justin Sobushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00840281577344317068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7959803343678816550.post-71146522839200417272012-02-12T10:30:54.840-08:002012-02-12T10:30:54.840-08:00I thought this was a good read!

From my personal experience, I am always too comfortable and complacent while on my bike. I think this happens to me because danger associated with bicycle riding is the last thing that would come to mind. However, the reality of danger while riding a bike is apparent through your examples.<br />Although I think this is a good idea, I must admit that I am not sure if I would obey. Just as you confessed, I also text while I drive. The dangers of doing this has been proven true and yet I still do it. On a personal level, I think I would have the same attitude towards a texting while on a bicycle ban.Erico Burgoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01054915525252355211noreply@blogger.com
