Joining legions of miffed drivers, McKinney’s lieutenant governor running mate, David Walker of Bridgeport, admitted to violating state law against texting and driving late Wednesday during a Twitter exchange with state Democrats.
“Sitting at a dead stop on I-95 in #CT at 10 p.m.,” said Walker, whose Twitter handle is @DeficitRanger, to 4,844 followers. “It’s time to fire #Malloy! DW” The occasion was a construction-related backup.
Even if traffic was frozen, state law bans texting and using a hand-held cell phone, while sitting in the driver’s seat on a street or highway with the engine running.
“The only thing you’ve been honest about is violating #CT’s hands-free law!” Connecticut Democrats tweeted back.
