Truck Drivers Barred From Texting

The U.S. government will no longer allow drivers of large trucks and buses to text while they are driving. What do you think?

Young Woman

Kathleen Hulka,
Systems Analyst
"Texting and driving is irresponsible, but it probably gets pretty lonely out there on the road. Hey! Someone should write a song about that!"

Young Man

Lyle Gorch,
Driveway Blacktopper
"With this ban in place, there's pretty much nothing to do while driving but daydream and rear-end the car in front of you."

Black Man

Arch Harris,
Truck Driver
"Aw, shucks. But sometimes you just want to send out a quick 'breaker breaker one-nine' to your buddies without starting up a whole long CB conversation."
