Texting while stupid:

People caught texting on their mobile phones while walking face being fined by police in a US town. The clampdown comes after a rise in the number of jaywalking incidents, where pedestrians cross roads illegally or recklessly, instead of using marked routes.

Officers in Fort Lee, New Jersey, have said some people are constantly putting themselves at risk of being hit by vehicles because they do not pay attention. Police are stepping up patrols looking for "dangerous" walkers who are not obeying the rules of the road. They have been handing out leaflets warning pedestrians about the crackdown.

So far this year, more than 20 people have been hit by cars in Fort Lee.

Can't say I approve of this measure. Oh, I'm all for ticketing people who text while driving -- or beating them senseless, for that matter. But people who walk across busy streets while staring at their phone are volunteering to remove themselves from the gene pool; this behavior should be encouraged. Don't make Uncle Chuck have frowny-face.
