Driver Gives Police “Laughing Emoji” Excuse And It Didn’t Go Well
NEW YORK, NY - APRIL 30: A driver uses a phone while behind the wheel of a car on April 30, 2016 in New York City. As accidents involving drivers using phones or other personal devices mount across the country, New York lawmakers have proposed a new test called the Textalyzer to help curb mobile phone usage behind the wheel. Similar to a Breathalyzer test, the Textalyzer would allow police to request phones from drivers involved in accidents and then determine if the phone had been used while the drivers operated their vehicles. The controversial bill is currently in the early committee stage. According to statistics, In 2014 431,000 people were injured and 3,179 were killed in car accidents involving distracted drivers.

In England it’s illegal to use your phone while driving in any way unless it’s a hands free device.
Well after this driver was pulled over for using his phone, he gave what he thought was a valid excise for using his cellular device while driving, “I was just sending my girlfriend a laughing emoji.”
