Fredericksburg REALTORS®: No More Texting While Driving ? as of Tomorrow July 1, 2009

June 30, 2009
Sarah Stelmok wrote a quick post today on her blog about the end of texting, as we know it.  No longer (as of tomorrow) can we using our little multi-tasking devices of death while operating a motor vehicle in Virginia.  This is a secondary offense for most drivers, which means that law enforcement must have cause to stop you for some other reason.  My simply question is how do they know if I am dialing a friend or texting a friend?  Regardless the answer, it?s never been a good idea to text ...

Here?s a less thoughtful usage of this data, but no less interesting: a listi...

VIVIAN J. PAIGE | All Politics is Local: A race is cooking in the 90th

The event is being hosted by Randy Wright and the special guest is gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe. Howell faces a challenge for the nomination from Lionell Spruill, Jr., who was the subject of what can only be called a hit piece recently in The Virginian-Pilot . Then we have none other than Governor Tim Kaine coming in a ...
