Like I said it sounds like bull**** to me but I remember hearing that on some podcast or something.. can't remember where. Doesn't make sense to me cause presumably then having a passenger in the car that you are talking to should be just as dangerous.
But the law is by nature arbitrary and gay. There are tons of red lights around here I would run when I was driving cause the town is set up so stupid and I'm not waiting on a ****ing light when it's the middle of the night and nobody is even around. There's nothing dangerous about it. But ifI got caught I'd get ticketed nonetheless.
The civic engineers just did a piss poor job... Tons of red lights that should either be stop signs or convert to blinking orange/red at night when there's no traffic but apparently that's too complicated for these hicks to work out.
