New law here - $500 fine for texting/emailing while driving even while stopped at traffic lights.

I'd be in trouble!!! I am always texting at lights.

Well, I have one fewer intern. She basically said she didn't think she could make the changes and step up to the plate in the way we needed. After a few minutes of awkward silence I said that if she couldn't make those changes there wasn't a place for her in our hospital. She said she understood and the Friday would be her last day.

It really is sad. She is a smart girl, but wasn't able to make the transition from student to independent decision maker. Now everyone else gets to work a little harder to cover her shifts until July.

sshaw, just wanted to say Hi! I see that you are in Oxford. I grew up in Webster many moons ago. I still go back quite often because my mother is still in Webster.

New law here - $500 fine for texting/emailing while driving even while stopped at traffic lights.

Ours starts on Oct 26.
Nothing that requires your attention being drawn from the road.
Cell phones have to be hands free as well.

On a side note, a trucker was fined $305 the other day for smoking in his 18 wheeler while parked on the side of the road.
It is considered a workplace, even though it was his truck!

I guess it is easy to get started at the light and then try to finish what you are doing.

Wow!!! If that is the case then you shouldn't be allowed to talk, listen to the radio, drink, or have children in the car with you.

On a side note, a trucker was fined $305 the other day for smoking in his 18 wheeler while parked on the side of the road.

In turn that should mean that people who work at home are not allowed to smoke at any point while they are at home.

You are not allowed to eat either.

I have a feeling he will be fighting it.
I would.
Especially if there is a sleeper on the cab, he can claim it as being his "home".
