I am glad to see this is becoming law. Not long ago I was forced off the road by a low bed truck whose driver was busy yakking on a cell phone. The low bed was fully loaded with 25 foot bridge irons.
I was astounded that a professional driver carrying such a deadly load would take the lives of innocent people so lightly. If a professional doesn’t have any concern for me, who does? Thankfully, a law.
I will be out there with a camera as soon as it is law. So you cheaters, watch out.
