You should pull over if you need to make a phone call or need to text someone
Several states have enacted anti-texting and hands free cell phone legislation. People have been seriously injured by drivers who were talking and texting while driving. If you need to make a call make sure you have a cordless handset available so that your hands are free to drive on the road. If you need to send an email or text, pull over to the side of the road and send the email or text.
TEXTING/CELL PHONE USAGE AND DRIVING
Driving requires full attention, concentration, reading, and reflexes. Cell phone usage can compromise a driver’s ability to drive safely.
Cell Phone Usage: Most states have enacted legislation banning cell phone usage while operating a vehicle, unless the device is hands free. Some states like New York have gone so far as to ban the use of a cell phone even if the driver has employed a hands fee device.
Texting and Driving: According to the National Highway Safety Traffic Administration, 16 % of all fatal crashes in 2008 were related to texting and driving incidents. A person who is texting and driving is twenty-three (23) more times likely to get involved I a crash then someone who is not. (See http://www.nhtsa.gov/). 35 states, the District of Columbia, and Guam ban text messaging for all drivers. This means that an officer can issue a ticket if you are caught driving and texting.

There is a lot of buzz of the new Obama plan. So I will go ahead and discuss it and how it will help.
The plan is an expansion of an existing H.A.M.P. program to help borrowers who are not behind on their payments but cannot refinance because they do not enough equity in their home or have negative equity. Negative equity occurs when a homeowner owes more on their mortgage loan than the home is currently worth.
The plan is great but it leads to wonder about the people who are behind on their payments. Well they can try a run of the mill loan modification. Keep in mind that loan modification application approvals are within the sole discretion of the bank. No federal legislation, HAMP, or otherwise regulates the banks decisions to approve or deny loan modifications.
Just because you can not qualify for the new finance plan doesn’t mean you do not have any options. You can avoid foreclosure and save your home by Filing for bankruptcy, which opens up several options for you, it is a federally protected right that you have if you meet the qualifications. In a chapter 7 you can surrender a property back to the bank and avoid foreclosure or you can get additional time to get your payments caught up and reapply for a loan modification. If you qualify for chapter 13 there is a built in loan modification system with the chapter 13 plan. Consult with a Bankruptcy Attorney in your area to see whether you qualify and for any additional options.
Maxwell Law Firm, PLLC represents clients in North Carolina with: filing for bankruptcy, Tax audits, tax settlements, and other debt issues. Our fees are affordable and we offer payment plans for bankruptcy. Save even more off the fees by booking your appointment online.
