1/13/04-A2355, a bill that would permit police to charge drivers with reckless, careless, or unsafe driving if the officer believes the person was distracted while driving, was substituted Jan. 12 for a measure – S338 – that has been forwarded to the governor for approval.

8/1/03-A2355, sponsored by Assemblyman Douglas Fisher, D-Bridgeton, would permit police to charge drivers with reckless, careless, or unsafe driving if the officer believes the person was distracted while driving.
" Every driver is responsible for the safety of others and has an obligation to stay focused and alert while operating a motor vehicle because accidents can occur in the blink of an eye, particularly at high speeds," Fisher wrote.
Under the bill, distracted driving would include such activities as grooming, eating, drinking, reading, tending to unsecured pets or talking on a cell phone.
A reckless or careless driving infraction could carry fines up to $200 and/or two months in jail. An unsafe driving infraction could result in a $150 fine.
It is in the Assembly Transportation Committee. For bill status, call (609) 292-4840. In New Jersey, call 1-800-792-8630.
