A: “Most people in the world are good. We hear more about the negative on the news, but most people in this world don’t wake up with the intent to cause malice or to intentionally hurt somebody. Most of us don’t want to go to jail and with my daughter, if there had been something out there that said ‘hey, if you do this you’ll get a ticket or you’ll go to jail and be out lots of money,’ she wouldn’t have done it. I sure wouldn’t do it and most of the people I know wouldn’t do it. Like the seatbelt law, I remember when that law went in, people bucked it so bad and everybody complained and everybody griped … but you don’t hear the argument anymore.”

Q: If a law goes into effect dealing with cell phone use while driving, what about the people who put make-up on in the car or read in the car?

A: “None of it should be done … There’s already a law there that deals with distractions in cars and having attention. I think they need to buckle down and start doing something. The law’s there for us to use, why aren’t we enforcing it? … If you take the number of officers and highway patrolmen … and then you take the community, that’s a pretty big ratio. You have one officer to thousands of people. They’re not going to catch everybody.”
