These rules seem strange but they are as significant as others because they protect our lives.



Firstly, It is a daily situation, so the authorities was extremely concerned by people’s distraction when they use your cellphones while they are crossing a street then they decided to create this law to preserve the people’s lives and to guarantee the safety of everybody, it is something suitable because we will open-eyed all the time to don’t cause deaths and accidents on the streets.



Secondly, I think “necessity creates the organ”, and if people don’t realize then they should punish, and so everyone should implement this rule in all world. The fine must be accompanied by a few lessons of civility to learn and never forget.



Finally, we as pedestrians, we must think about don’t isolate us the circumstances that surround us just for send messages and connect us with reality, this could cost us our lives and those of others who are innocent in some cases.



“The greatest things are caused by little things” Often some misfortunes are the consequence of small causes.

The law is strange, but it can save many lives.

When you receive a text message, it is best to find a safe place to read

My opinion is that this new law is fundamental since as pedestrians and drivers not us concientizamos brings over of the hurt that we can cause on having sent messages of texts already be driving or walking. Though in Colombia it it is not, since citizens we have to concientizarnos to be able to avoid major incidents.

It is a curious case because I personally bothers me see or talk to someone and are chatting is like a lack of respect and when I do, which is almost every day I say I hope and fall.
is stressful, so do not want a blackberry or any apparatus of the foregoing types JAJAJA.

So I think it would be a good method would avoid so many accidents sometimes happen not only for people who are walking, but also irresponsible drivers that are driving and talking on the pin at the same time, and also would avoid the lack of respect for other people.

hopefully here in Colombia applied the standard.

My opinion on The Texting and Walking Made Illegal

Rafael Vergara | 12.07.2012

My opinion about the issue is as follows:

This is an issue but for many is insignificant, it may cost the lives of many people by concentration on a cell phone, lost concentration in the most important thing is the preservation of life.

This good you think these laws and above all you must create campaigns with children, do not forget who are the future and we should care.

I think it's a very funny and interesting text. It is about a new law that exist in the USA that bans texting and walking on the street to avoid accidents. it's interesting because it's something that we do everyday as a normal activity without notice what dangerous it could be. It´s funny for the examples in some cases as the man texting who didn't notice the big bear on the street or the woman who fell into a fountain in a shopping mall.

Hello
Well the text shows us the reality of today throughout the world by advances in technology, and we do not see how dangerous are these unless we give them to good use, and is good as of this law to see if we get aware of what can cost us a text message.
Thank you.

my opinion about the tex

Domingo Navarro | 12.07.2012

I think it is a drastic measure but very good and we should raise awareness pra have more responsibility at the time of using the streets as pedestrians, transit routes demas.hoy on this day to become a vice very strong, so much so people who suffer at times seems they are on another planet if you think that there are other people around. hope that this measure is carried out and we can work together so that there is no percentage of accidents for this type of problem that exists today and we must be aware of what we are doing to receive a text message.

thank you very much

my opinion about the text is:

This conversation related some true situation in the real life. Why is important don´t texting and walking in the sain time? I think that is very important don´t do it because when anyone do it, the people could pruduce accident in the road.

the people when texting in the street could trip over or bump into someone. A good example for prevent this situation is the law like a New Jersey, in this town the people can´t do it, if the people do it that, they could take a fine.

the attetion or concentration when we try to texting is too much and implicate forget other things: if we go down the street or if we have other priorities.

thankyou.!
