Welcome to America. The country with the highest number of incarcerated people in the world. A country, where eating a cheeseburger while driving is a crime.
Cobb county is the same county that once gave me a ticket for not using a turn signal. I always use my signals. I very much HATE people that don't use signals. The cop didn't see me signal. So, hey, you're a criminal, pay the fine. Or try to fight it like I tried, and get suspended jail time AND the fine.
I see nothing has changed. Cobb county sucks. We aren't people to the government any more. We're "soon to be" criminals with fat wallets.
How do you get suspended jail time for fighting a ticket?
You have got to fuel the bureaucracy. Those fees and what not are "job creators" ya know.
Oh and don't ever ever get an actual DUI.... talk about a nightmare.
American people are prey. What's unfortunate is that many of our fellow Americans cheer for this... but wait until they are charged with "Driving With A Cheeseburger".... all about "It doesn't effect me so you deserve it" Typical of our society today.
Funny, I was run onto the shoulder of the freeway last yr by a cop screwing around with his laptop. He just waved like it was no big deal. Why are those clowns exempt from driving distracted? I filed a complaint, and of course nothing came of it. Surprise.

People don' t like whiners. Your complaint went straight to the round file where it belongs.
Both "hands on the wheel" do NOT make you a better driver, or mean that you're concentrating more....
Then please tell us what both hands on the wheel make us, eh?
Do both hands on the wheel make us dangerous?
I'll grant you we can have both hands on the wheel and both eyes on some skirt walking along a sidewalk, and therefore both hands don't mean diddly.
But overall, yes, both hands are better than one or no hands.
If you are in a cab or on a bus---especially with your child---are you gonna feel more comfortable with the driver using two hands or one?
How about him/her using one hand to scarf a burger?
How about him/her using one hand to play a video game on a phone?
How about him/her using one hand to drink a "lite" beer?
"Both hands on the wheel, driver! Thank you very much!"
------Harry Chapin's possible last words
The amount of people paying little attention to what they are doing while driving is shocking to me. Driving is probably one of the most serious responsibility many people have....everyone should pay strict attention to their DRIVING, not other things.
Good for the officer!
I'll go so far as to say, let police officers work in their off time, issuing tickets to people who are driving and violating the law. Let these officers write LOTS of tickets......and they get a commission for the total revenue collected.
It is when it breaks the law. I missed a speed limit sign once and got a speeding ticket. I wouldn't have been speeding if I saw the sign, but because of my own error, I broke the law.

in the end i want to go peacefully in my sleep, like my grandfather, not screaming and yelling like his passengers.
