Irving City Council to consider banning use of cell phones in school zones
The ordinance will not include those annoying bluetooth phone things or other handless phones. How drivers aren't considered distracted when they're yakking away like idiots on these things is currently not understood.
At today's (Feb. 21.) meeting, the Irving City Council will vote on whether or not to ban the use of handheld cell phones within school zones.
If approved, the ordinance would bar drivers from talking or texting during active school zones. You know, so you won't run crush someone else's child with your SUV.
And if approved, violating the ordinance would be a Class C misdemeanor.
So far, Highland Park, University Park, Flower Mound and Duncanville have passed such laws.

BACK STORY: Actually, that is not a Bluetooth on this starlet’s ear; it is a massive roach that had reached her ear, mistaking her preferred fragrance, 'Puff Pastry' as an actual confection.
Immediately after this photo was shot, an anonymous onlooker took a ping pong paddle and swatted the water roach, killing it instantly but unfortunately making this woman effectively deaf in this left ear, and her jaw mutated.
Despite efforts to sue damages, the man who harmed her unintentionally was sent to Iraq rather than jail, on a Dick Cheney exchange program first begun under his Halliburton tenure.
