ravings of a semi-sane madwoman: these pictures are stunning. they are amazing

and a few are from connecticut too! (a couple in the beginning and a couple at the end)

it IS against the law

and i wish i personally could stop each and every person i saw talking on a cell phone while driving. unfortunately i cannot. however a few local (and the state police) police forces including west hartford tossed out some tickets for that very offense.

power to  ya! (and i say do it every day. PLEASE)

oh and another thing, IT'S THE LAW IN CONNECTICUT TO TURN YOUR CAR LIGHTS ON IN INCLEMENT WEATHER. DO IT  (and while we're at it, USE YOUR SIGNALS)

Hartford-Area Police Look For Distracted Drivers Hundreds Of Tickets Issued As Part Of NHTSA Study

By CHRISTINE DEMPSEY, cdempsey@courant.com

WEST HARTFORD — —

Officer Jen Roman stands in four-foot high weeds, peeking around the corner of an abandoned brick building on New Park Avenue. "White male, white Ford F-250, cellphone. Right hand, right ear," she says into her radio. Down the block, another officer stepped into the road and ordered the pickup truck driver to pull over for violating the state's cellphone law.

The man was one of many caught in the department's latest effort to deter distracted driving. Roman was a "spotter" for part of Wednesday, the fifth day in the second wave of a four-part federal study.

Police in West Hartford, Hartford, East Hartford and the Connecticut State Police are looking for cellphone violations in the area through today. Syracuse, N.Y. is the only other place in the country chosen for the study, sponsored by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

The purpose of the study is to determine whether enforcing cellphone laws actually alters drivers' behavior, said. Lt. David M. Dubiel of West Hartford's traffic division. The first wave was April 10-16, he said, and more are planned in the fall and in spring of 2011..............
