In a first, US Woman gets ticket for wearing Google Glass. A good precedent?

If talking over the phone is an offense, certainly wearing Google Glass and driving should come under the same rule of law.

In what would set a precedent for the futuristic a woman was pulled over by a San Diego cop for speeding, and ticketed for wearing Google Glass.

Cecilia Abadie, a software developer, told The Associated Press that she was not using her Google Glass when she was pulled over.It's unclear whether a citation for Google Glass has been issued before.Abadie said she is surprised that wearing the glasses would be illegal and that she's "pretty sure" she will fight the ticket."The law is not clear, the laws are very outdated," Abadie said, suggesting that navigating with the device could be less distracting than with a GPS device or phone.


The eyeglasses, which are not yet widely available to the public, feature a hidden computer and a thumbnail-size transparent display screen above the right eye. Users can scan maps for directions -- as well as receive web search results, read email and engage in video chats -- without reaching for a smartphone.

While the issue has certain racked up a furious debate, it goes without saying that 'using Google Glass while driving certainly should come under the purview of the law.' A technology is meant to assist us and not to hinder.

Can anybody assure that somebody using the Google Glass is doing a responsible thing,while doing so driving?

Cecilia Abadie may be all in her rights to challenge the 'ticket' but News It Is  firmly supports the fact that devices such as Google Glass or a mobile phone can not be held above the life of another road user and if for that one time when you got distracted !

As of now the Legislators in Delaware, New Jersey and West Virginia have already introduced bills that would ban driving with Google Glass. And the officer who issued the ticket should actually be congratulated, for standing his ground and setting a precedent.
