MA: Common Courtesy While Driving Act (Statute)

[ZuWo]

I agree with the main thrust of this bill but as previous posters have pointed out I have doubts about the effectiveness of anger management classes and the fines seem too high to me.

My suggestions: Remove the anger management classes (or, if you really think they are necessary, reserve them for people who repeatedly violate this bill) and reduce the fine of $500 to $100 at most.

For the record, I can support this since the bill was amended and improved where it was necessary. If the bill gets a majority I will sign it into law.

Nay, I think when you're regulating how what people can say that is just not allowing for freedom of speech.

When I saw this bill for the first time I was aware that the clause "... using profane language that is audible to other motorists" might be the most problematic part of the bill. However, I understand that there are big differences between the US - the home country of most Atlasians - and the part of the world I come from regarding the use and acceptance of profanity. Since profanity seems to be frowned upon in public settings in the US I came to the conclusion that this clause may be appropriate here.

I essentially agree with what citizen Tmthforu94 said about the bill a few days ago:

Other than these nitpicks, I'd be leaning towards this bill.
