New Calif. Law Would Ban Texting While Biking; What’s Next?

LOS ANGELES (CBS) — It could soon be illegal to ride a bicycle and text if a California lawmaker gets his way.
Sen. Joe Simitian (D-Palo Alto), who authored the 2008 California law mandating the use of hands-free technology while driving, has proposed extending that law to bicyclists.
Senate Bill 1475 would ban bicyclists from texting or talking without a headset.
If you are walking ,driving and texting at the same time you cannot be paying attention to what your doing . Seems to make sense.
