Virginia drivers can continue to drive and talk
Virginia drivers have at least another year to talk on their cellphones and travel without buckling up.
A House subcommittee Thursday killed bills that would have banned talking on a hand-held cellphone while driving and made not wearing a seat belt a primary offense, ABC 7 reports.
Currently, police can issue citations for not wearing a seat belt only if the driver is pulled over for another reason.

This from the "no big government" House. What a surprise.

hope all the members that voted against the measure are involved in deadly accidents with other drivers talking on cellphones.
