I am going to devote many of my waking hours in the years to come toward supporting a new and much needed organization called…
Association of Mothers United for Safe Texting (AMUST).
I can’t tell you how excited I am about this, so I won’t.
Their Vision Statement tells it all…
Texting while driving is a fundamental right of all Americans. The most important rule of texting is Quick Response. To address this issue, driving habits need to change with the times.
AMUST lays out their Platform very succinctly…
- AMUST agrees that texting while driving can sometimes be dangerous.
- In the interest of safety, AMUST supports texting only while stopped at traffic lights.
- The problem is there are not enough traffic lights, and the few that we do have, do not allow enough time to text your inner most thoughts.
- AMUST proposes that traffic lights be erected every six blocks and all traffic lights should be timed to stop traffic in all direction for a minimum of sixty seconds.
AMUST feels that ought to do it but, being an organization with an eye toward the future, AMUST has already developed Phase II. I personally do not see why they are dragging their collective feet and are not proposing Phase II right up front. I ask you, what’s wrong with a light every three blocks and ninety seconds long?
Texting must be protected in the Constitution of these United States somewhere and, if it is not, it ought to be.
Would I kid u?
