You talk. They ticket!


So, apparently there is a new law in Dallas that you can't talk on your hand held cell phone while driving in a school zone! I learned of this new law this morning when a cop walked up to my car (yes, walked) while I was stopped at a stop light, knocked on my window, and gave me a ticket for it. (Cody was out of town, so I was calling him to wake him up this morning. Of course, that makes this his fault, not mine! :) haha..) 


This is not a moving/traffic violation so I don't have to worry about doing defensive driving, or it going on my insurance. But... I did look up the ticket and it is a $200 fine!! So, check your local ISD and watch out for those school zones.

Oh... by that way! The school zone that I got a ticket in, did not have one of these signs telling you cell phones are prohibited.  (As my mom would say, that's totally bogus!)

Tara, regarding that $200 contibution you made -- maybe it will go to the school library to purchase some new books -- of course in Cody's name.Love you !Nana 1
