So what's next? Legislating looking both way before crossing the street? Requiring all pedestrians to have an escort? What's particularly aggravating is I'm sure there are other laws on the books that could be used to pursue people who do something stupid in traffic because they aren't paying attention. Instead of enforcing those, we have a legislator who thinks what we need is another law.
