City in South Dakota Bans Eating While Driving
What about picking your nose? (Definitely eating it is outlawed. So this guy is screwed.)
How about ball scratching?
Gum chewing? ( I guess they would have to prove when you unwrapped it.)
How about ads on the side of the road? Amber alerts? Road signs in general?
Beautiful trees? Definitely a distraction.
Joking aside, you know what the true agenda is here…. SMOKING IN YOUR OWN CAR WILL BE OUTLAWED.

HURON, SD -
Huron is the latest city in South Dakota to ban texting while driving.
The ordinance approved by the City Commission on Monday night also encompasses distracted driving. Mayor Dave McGirr says that includes everything from eating pizza to reading a newspaper while driving. The ordinance also bars drivers with learners’ permits from talking on a phone while driving.
The ordinance will go into effect sometime around the start of the new year, with police giving motorists a grace period while they become familiar with the new law. The fine for texting while driving will be $100, and the fine for distracted driving $15.

It’s carte blanche for the police to pull over any motorist for no reason other than “unsafe eating”.

It is possible to eat and drive in a pretty safe manner, particularly when the driving environment isn’t bad. It is possible to eat and drive in an unsafe manner too. The problem is that these specific laws don’t allow for any judgement. Which is what judges are supposed to do – use their judgement for the current case. Every police unit should have a camera by now, and cops should be able to simply submit video with their account of why the driver was a danger to himself and to others. Stop making all these specific laws, and enforce basic reckless driving!

An Agenda 21 town perhaps?
Pretty soon the left will ban smoking tobacco while driving, but give awards to those who smoke pot while driving.

“Amber alerts”…
They installed digital message boards above the Baltimore beltway a few years back. Every time they place a message on the boards the traffic grinds to a halt at each one. Quite often, there are rear-ender accidents at these traffic jams due to some dumbass focusing on the sign and not paying attention to the road.

And the next thing you know, they’ll ban eating while sitting on your sofa because you can’t control the TV clicker and eat at the same time, dontcha know.

I once was run off the road and into the ditch by a soccer mom in a Ford Expedition who failed to yield the right of way–and then swerved into my lane–because she was turned around fussing with her daughter in the back seat. I got a real good look at her before she hit me; she never even saw me. Are we now going to ban driving with kids in the back seat?

@Noelegy,
If everybody adhered to the left’s mandate for birth control, gay marriage, and abortion there would be no children in the back seat to distract a driver.

Farting in church should be illegal. Of course if you worship Satan at your local mosque it would be encouraged and you should bean-up hours before Friday prayers.

It always ends up to get to us smokers.
The law will eventually be revised to include banning smoking while driving…then the fast food lobby will pay off the politicians to revise the ban (citing a commerce clause)which will remove the food eating ban(and anything else) but leave the smoking ban in place.

This is near me, and I agree with this one. If you come flying at me at any speed, you need both dick beaters on the wheel, not on your Big Mac.

To two posts up:
Anyone who hates the good people of the world is easy to dismiss and pick out of a crowd.
Never hired an immature hateful ass that hates what’s good in the world. Never will. Not good for business.
You will always be unhappy and full of negativity trying to bring everyone down to your level.
Next.
