transportration%20trolley%20back%20and%20white.jpgIn Massachusetts and other states, operators of public transportation vehicles like buses and trolleys are using their cell phone and mobile phones on the job. What’s wrong with this? Everything is wrong with this if the use of the cell phones / mobile phones distract the drivers and cause serious accidents involving personal injuries and, in some instances, death. Text messaging and e mailing from cell phones / mobile phones are especially dangerous acts. The driver / operator’s eyes are on the cell phone / mobile phone screen rather on the road and traffic. This in turn, puts the people in danger including the trolley passengers, pedestrians, other motorists, and bicyclists.

In Edmond, Oklahoma, the city council recently voted in an ordinance to ban toy guns that have been altered to look like real guns. Toy guns typically have an orange tip or other markings to distinguish it from a real gun. Unfortunately, many people including children have modified toy guns to make them look like real guns. This, in turn, creates a dangerous situation in that other people including law enforcement officers will have a problem distinguishing a real gun from a toy gun. Fines are now in place by the City of Edmond for having an altered toy gun and for threatening someone with a toy gun.
