Mark Peterson writes:

The language, "without giving proper time and attention to driving" is far too broad to be entrusted to individual judgments. I understand the desire to pull people over for texting, cell phone usage, and other things, but the Reckless Driving law is not the way to do it. MDP 01/23/18
