Then they wouldnt be waiting in the middle of the town. We all have requirements on how long we can block thank you. And just if i could, just one more question on distracted driving. Right now only one state received our funding for the distracted driving grant which we would really like to have changed. Theres a ton of money sitting there and we have an emerging problem.
