Thanks for the warning. I'm glad this law is going into effect. I was driving along Rt. 5 North out of East Hartford last spring when a 16 year old female driver in her Dad's overly-lavish SUV tapped my rear end while she was talking on her cell phone. There was no damage to either car, but I pulled her over, told her about my past (how light rear-enders eventually degrade into totalling your dad's car
) and I hope I sent her a realistic message about the importance of driving carefully: "if you think THIS sucks, wait until you have to involve police, parents, and insurance. Trust me, not fun!" It was a "sisterly" thing to do. I just wish my advice wasn't from actual experience.
By the way, my auto insurance bill is coming soon. *sigh*
