This is it -- the No texting while driving law starts this month

Well, here in Manitoba anyway. I know there are laws in effect in certain other places already and they are spreading to many other states and provinces rapidly, but they may not cover quite as much as the ones we're about to experience.

Drivers caught texting or using handheld cellphones in Manitoba face steep fines as of July 15.

Under the amendments to the Highway Traffic Act, motorists face a fine of almost $200 if caught breaking the new law.
Hands-free phones are still okay. Fine for texting or talking on cell while driving nets you the "steep" fine of $200, but no demerits added to one's license according to several sites.

The amendments also ban smoking in vehicles when children under the age of 16 are present. That fine is also about $200.

Studies show the same toxic chemicals found in your car's exhaust such as formaldehyde, benzene and carbon monoxide are found in tobacco smoke. By smoking in your car when children are present, you are increasing their risk of developing serious respiratory illnesses.

Agree? Disagree? Love these laws or hate them?

What are they like where you live?
